Featuring Steven Koehler and Doug Mancheski, this Wisconsin-inspired musical comedy promises to warm the cockles of your heart and is way more fun than sitting on an upended bucket over a hole drilled into a frozen lake (well, most of us think so). Inside their cozy ice fishing shanty ‘up north,’ long-time buddies Marvin and Lloyd spin wit, wisdom, and hilarious tunes about life, friendship, and the one that got away. With musical numbers like “The Wishing Hole,” “Ode To A Snowmobile Suit,” “Fish Is The Miracle Food” and “The One That Got Away,” it’s no wonder why Guys On Ice has played to sold-out houses since 1998, even when the Green Bay Packers are playing the Chicago Bears, doncha know? Celebrate the nostalgia of Wisconsin, in the comfort of the OAC’s theater!

Starring Lisa McClowry as Cher, this Broadway-style, theatrical extravaganza celebrates six decades of the music and life of the goddess of pop. Paying tribute to her iconic voice and mannerisms, the over the top Bob
Mackie-styled costumes, the makeup, and more, this show is like having the real Cher strut her stuff on stage. McClowry was honored as 2023 Tribute Artist of the Year at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville for her portrayal of this incomparable living legend. Fall in love again with Cher and her hits, including “I Got You Babe,” “Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves,” “I Found Someone,” “The Way Of Love,” “If I Could Turn Back Time,” and more are performed on the OAC’s Main Stage.

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Madame Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watches the latest rage - until the girls who painted them began to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Inspired by a true story, Radium Girls traces the efforts of Grace, Irene, and Kathryn as they fight for their day in court against the U.S. Radium Corporation. Called a "powerful" and "engrossing" drama by critics, the play offers an unflinching look at the American obsessions with health and wealth, the power of the underdog, and the fierce injustice laborers in America have faced.
