Maybe you are wondering "where is heck is the Small Theater".  "How do I get tickets"? or not.- - in the year 2000, I converted an 80 year old tool shed my back yard into a 50 seat entertainment theater.  The idea being that local and regional artists could come and perform for a listening audience.  I wanted to reproduce a vaudeville atmosphere and have 1 or 2 short opening acts along with a headliner.  It has grown into a place where local artist as well as national artist share the space with the audience.  We ask for a donation that is appropriate for the show.

A few guidelines are followed that help make the evening enjoyable to all.  These shows are held at our home so, although some of this is common sense, we just ask that you show respect by being a regular nice human being when you attend.

1. All attendees must RSVP if they plan to attend.  This helps plan for the show.  Keep my home's liability to a minimum. RSVP to nick@greenbaymusic.com , message me via MySpace, or call 468-6696.  If you don't know where the Small Theater is you will be given the 'secret' location at that time. :)

2. Shows start early in the evening (mostly) and don't last forever.  I like shows to start around 7 or 7:30.  it makes it babysitter friendly.  when a show is posted for a specific time, the show STARTS on time.

3. Aside from what might be there to share, shows are either "potluck" or BYO.  I have never had a problem with drunkenness, but if we did you'd just be asked tA leave with a sober driver.  Sometimes there is a potluck food theme.

4. usually fire is involved.  either in the form of heat for the building or a bonfire out back for fun.

5. Shows are made possible by your donations (there is "the hat" somewhere in the theater, put some dough in there to say "thanks" to the artist and the theater).  Recommended donations vary in amount and are presented as a "range". i.e. $5-$15 dollars or $2 - $8 depending on the acts.  This range is only a suggestion and uses a "sliding scale" principle proceeds go to the artist performing that night along with a small percentage that help pay for basic upkeep and enhancements to the theater. (we also accept a few pieces of hardwood firewood).

Please contact me, Nick Utrie, if you have any questions.

RSVP to nick@greenbaymusic.com OR by calling (920) 468-6696 and leave a message with the show and number of people attending.
