Okay.

Sir Winston Churchill, and in the suit and with the cigar and the glasses and telling stories of, obviously, he was an incredible statesman in World War II, but he had such a relationship with America and the president, so that political side of life, but also his personal side of life, knowing the Queen of England.
2:00
Because remember, Winston Churchill was the first prime minister when she became queen-

They're having a big free celebration on Sunday that's gonna include performances, but really interesting stories and memories and readings because Racine Theater Guild, it is all volunteer.
3:29
But it's always stellar talent behind the scenes and on stage.

2:31
And then Sara Bareilles, she's an interesting artist, isn't she?
2:35
She's always got my attention.
2:37
You know, her first hit song was called Love Song, Not Gonna Write You a Love Song.
2:40
Because she had this great album, and the record company famously said, "Yes, but there's not a hit.
2:45
There's no love song on here." And I think it was one of those, "Oh, yeah?" And so [laughs] she writes Not Gonna Write You a Love Song, it becomes the big hit.
2:51
But then she went on to create the Broadway musical Waitress, the songs for that.
2:55
So she's had a really interesting career, and she stepped away from the recording studio for almost 10 years.
5:01
... is this year you are going to be appearing on stage with A Christmas Carol with the Milwaukee Rep.

All sorts of locations throughout the city and nearby.
0:30
Nearly 200 this year.
0:33
Isn't that incredible? They added almost 50 buildings to Doors Open Milwaukee because participating this year for the first time is UW-Milwaukee.
0:42
So much of their campus you can get into buildings.
0:45
Even if you were a student there, think about it, you probably went to four or five buildings.
0:48
Now you can get to the performance center or maybe to, uh, one of the labs.
0:52
One of the labs, uh, not labs, one of the buildings that they had, I feel like, Vince, maybe you and your son Max could go to.

512: The Selena Experience Still Dreaming Of You Tour is at the South Milwaukee Performing Arts Center, and you've got closing weekend for Lend Me a Tenor at Sunset Playhouse, opening weekend for Footloose at The Rep, which is a musical based on the 1980s musical, and opening weekend for Gypsy: A Musical Fable at Skylight Music Theater.
24:21
actually a witchy.
24:22
It's okay to chuckle, and it's okay to find that out.
24:25
But Marie Kohler is a very renowned playwright here in town, and she wrote a play called Boswell that was on Next Act Theater recently.
24:34
This is her new play, inspired by Mary Knoll, and it's a play with music.
24:38
There's going to be a live cello that's kind of one of the voices.
24:41
It's very interesting because Mary Knoll really was a pioneering woman when it came to art, and at that time, I think she was born in the 30s, like...
24:50
She was doing things that women kind of weren't encouraged to do by speaking your mind.
25:30
one, yeah.

28:11
Is this the final final?
28:13
I don't think so.
28:16
I can't be because we're squeezing out the cultural festivals, but the 13th annual Puerto Rican Festival at Henry Meyer Festival Park, one day, Saturday only, and it kicks off Hispanic Heritage Month.
28:28
You've got, of course, Puerto Rican food.
28:29
I dig that they have a domino tournament as part of the Puerto Rican Festival as well.
28:33
Okay.
28:34
Silver City Fest is also happening.

We just passed an anniversary of Stevie Ray.

Was there anybody you were excited to see on the show?
0:27
I have mixed feelings about Dancing with the Stars.
0:30
My issue is it's an interesting concept if you're taking people who don't dance.
0:35
The football players who have some athletic ability but don't necessarily have the coordination for that.
0:40
Maybe a comedian who's never done it.
0:42
But when you start having people who have been on Broadway or been in movies that are all about dance, how is that an even playing field? So then it's a popularity contest.
0:51
So, I mean, believe me, Dancing with the Stars has been all the rage for so many years.
