Heywood Banks
He’s one-of-a-kind, with a style his very own derived from a saucy mix of expert musicianship and just plain silliness. This songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon, with a show that appeals to college students, yuppies, business folk, country folk, kids, and seniors. Heywood intersperses his humorous observations of life with quirky songs that range in mood from twisted to bizarre, and in musical style ranging from folk to country, rock, pop, jazz, and beyond. He’s appeared on countless TV shows and is a frequent guest on the national Bob and Tom radio show. Learn More >
The Nicolet Players Present: The Crucible
The Village of Salem is run wild with tales of witchcraft. Deep-seated jealousies, lust, and greed are bubbling to the surface from the heat of each neighbor’s exaggerated accusations. Revenge has replaced reason; mere rumors are now damning evidence – and no one is safe. A timeless play and a pivotal work, The Crucible is a tale of caution that warns of the deadly consequences when a society allows fear, suspicion, and superstitious gossip to rule over facts and reason.
