| Description | Abbott and Costello, Glen Miller and the Marx Brothers are only a few of the legendary acts who performed at Sheboygan's own Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts. This historic theater, once owned by the Warner Brothers, is now a thriving performance center and a true Sheboygan landmark.
Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts, originally named the Sheboygan Theater, opened in 1928. It was a premier Wisconsin motion picture and theatrical venue until the 1950s, when TV became popularized. After its stint as a multi-screened Marcus Theaters movie complex, the Weill Center Foundation, Inc. bought the property and restored it to its bygone glory. The theater was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
The Spanish Colonial Revival-style building is now home to a variety of musical and theatrical productions, including contemporary circuses, international dance troupes, musical tribute shows and holiday performances. Additionally, the Weill Classic Movie Series showings of old-time favorites, like Rear Window. Continuing with future construction phases, the 1,153-seat theater offers an expanded stage, a new ticket office and comfortable, wider seating.
