The acoustics are suited for the performance venue, and this facility plays host to many local organizations. A theatre group, the Hartford Players, the Hartford City Band, and the Hartford Community Chorus. The Ruth A Knoll theatre is a fantastic place to take in a show on the weekend. Pike's peak plays host to local art n showcase as well as a banquet hall that is available for events and weddings. Good friends of ours were married here. I was truly impressed. A great venue for a wedding and easily transferred the event upstairs for the reception. To summarize, the theater is top notch, the shows are nationally recognized acts, and for the value, this is a great venue.

Last night I attended Broadway Rox at The Schauer Center with some friends. What a great show!…read more It's amazing to see that level of talent in little Hartford, WI. The performers sang songs from many of the top broadway shows from over the last 20 or 30 years. Most of them were from very recent shows like Wicked, American Idiot, and Rent. I have attended other music and theatre performances at The Schauer Center and have always been impressed with the quality talent that they bring in. Other favorites were Late Night Catechism, To Kill A Mockingbird, and Chapter 6 an a cappella singing group. The facility itself is really cool. They did such a nice job turing an old building into an arts center, while preserving the history and look of the building. One of my best friends had their wedding reception at The Schauer Center and we all had a great time. It's such a cool building to have a wedding in.

Their were not signs stating where or how things were basically set up. We received a brochure at the end before we left. It seemed more of just a drinking and bad music event. We had the fish and chips which were ok. We did notice that even though supposed to be same fish and chips at each booth that some prepared it differently so the quality was different. Also the amount given varied. Before we went we did hear from others that we probably would not enjoy the event. We went in with positive feelings though really wanting to enjoy our time there. Well we were not impressed. None of us plan on returning next year to this event.

Fish Day!!! What's not to love?!?! It's Port Washington's summer festival that celebrates a…read moreWisconsin favorite: the Fish Fry. Shuttle buses run up and down the main streets so parking isn't a huge issue. I've been to this festival 4+ times now and have always found street parking close enough to walk. The local shops tend to stay open later than normal for the festival, which is great for visitors. There is no entry fee for the festival, however carry-ins are not permitted. Prices this year (2014) were $7 for the fish and chips, $4 Miller Lite, $5 Redd's Apple Ale.... so a little on the pricier side but the fish fry was pretty delicious. They have a midway with some rides and carnival games. There are several stages with live music. The main stage usually features some 80's or 90's act and does cost a couple dollars, this year it was $5 for the main stage. I think it is standing room only. My favorite part of Fish Day is the fireworks. They are awesome and it is easy to get "front row" seating. They are launched from what use to be the old storage ground for coal at the We Energies generation station, which is across the small harbor from the festivities. In the morning there is an 8k race that is pretty challenging and then a ridiculous parade around 10am. I hope to run the race again next year and stay for the parade because it is entertaining! I really enjoy this festival and recommend the race to my fellow runners. I will be back next year! :D

John McGivern delivered a heartfelt and thoroughly entertaining holiday performance at the…read moreGermantown Performing Arts Center, reminding the audience why he remains such a beloved storyteller. The evening began on a festive note as the Germantown Band welcomed the crowd, immediately setting a warm and celebratory tone for the show. The band also returned during intermission, providing enjoyable live music that kept the holiday spirit alive throughout the evening. Best known for his Emmy Award-winning work on PBS, McGivern brought the same warmth, humor, and authenticity to the stage that viewers have enjoyed for years on Around the Corner and John McGivern's Main Streets. His Christmas show blended laugh-out-loud moments with touching reflections drawn from his upbringing as one of six children in a working-class Midwestern Irish Catholic family. For many in the audience, his stories truly hit home. The themes of family dynamics, traditions, faith, and everyday moments were deeply relatable, especially for those raised in Midwestern Catholic households. McGivern's ability to find humor in shared experiences made the performance both genuinely funny and emotionally resonant. The performance felt intimate and inviting, as if he were welcoming the audience into his own living room for the holidays. John McGivern's Christmas show was a joyful, comforting, and meaningful way to celebrate the season. Supported by the festive contributions of the Germantown Band, the evening left the audience smiling, reflective, and filled with holiday spirit long after the final curtain.

Coming to the Germantown PAC was an excellent experience. We saw The Little Mermaid, which was…read morehands-down the best play I've ever seen. Everyone was beyond incredible in their respective performances. The PAC was so clean, which is great, unlike so many theaters I've been to; this was a refreshing change. The acoustics were great, and we sat in the middle row in front of the stage, maybe 6 rows back. Adequate lighting, friendly staff, and efficient ways to get people served quickly during the intermission were great highlights. Another area of appreciation was upon check-in. There's a pillow area to the left on the floor. Need one to boost a child, for example? Take it and bring it back after the play is over. This was oddly one of the more memorable things about the PAC--we have been to a few, but none where they have these nice pillows to give you a boost if you're a little shorter. The seating was comfortable, and there was enough legroom to endure the entire play without getting sore. Ensure you realize there's no food and drink inside the theater area, but you can have it outside while mingling with others in the lobby.

Just staying the night and looking for something to do, we stumbled upon "chicken and comedy night"…read moreand we are sure glad we did. Chicken buffet before the show was small, but well done, a simple salad would have been nice. The chicken was the star of the show, accompanied by the usual instant potatoes, avg vegetable medley, a tasty roll, crunch coke slaw and some pink stuff for dessert. The man that ran the place was a solid host, we felt very welcomed by him and all the staff. The venue is a beautiful setting, it felt like I was at a wedding. The comedy acts were entertaining. I'm very glad we went and would attend another event here next time we are in Milwaukee

We had a 2:00 reservation and got seated around 2:35. Meanwhile I enjoyed a delicious rasberry/lemon drop martini at the bar. Check photos posted, it pretty much listed what was on the buffet. The only disappointment was the didnt have much of a childrens section and my grandchildren are very picky eaters. I did ask our server if they could order off the regular children's menu but I understood that that was not possible but it was okay. They filled up on bacon, strawberries, croissants and deserts. Our server was very efficient and there was definitely enough staff to handle this crowd. Very positive experience

Second time here in the last couple of months…read more Food: As much as I love the history of this place, the beautiful woods surrounding it, and the charm of the building, I have been very disappointed by the quality of the food. Unfortunately, this second dinner was even worse than the first. The rice was undercooked, the short ribs were dry, and the scallops were gritty. I realize that, for some people, the Buy One, Get One promotion is a big draw. However, I suspect that the menu prices are inflated to offset the BOGO savings, so it doesn't end up being much of an actual benefit. My wish is that they would focus on improving the quality and consistency of the food and charge prices that appropriately cover their costs while still allowing them to make a profit. I don't think we'll be coming back anytime soon, which is sad because there is so much to like about the location and atmosphere.

The service is variable, I'll keep coming back for the music and food but I wish the wait staff could be more consistently respectful. You just can't make too many special requests. One time, the Chief of Staff first switched seats, then requested no disposable straws, then the final straw, so to speak, was when on my behalf she asked for a glass with ice for my diet soda. The waiter, visibly fed up, took my warm can, popped it open, put it in a plastic to go cup with a cap, put in a disposable straw and put it in front of my plate inviting our immediate departure. I've been here a few times and sometimes the service is okay. I wouldn't return but for the live music dates.
