Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts — Attraction in Brookfield

I do not have a clue why this theater would get anything under five stars. A few days before the event, I purchased tickets for a Kat Edmonson concert on a Wednesday at 2:00 PM. My tickets were a steal at $39.00 each. Almost sold out, I grabbed what was left for my wife and I. The seats were great, and I didn't see a bad seat in the house.

Ms. Edmondson's performance was fantastic. Frankly, she sounded better than on her CDs. The acoustics were excellent and the seats were comfortable. Everything was spotless, even the bathrooms. A huge lot makes parking a breeze. Of course, being a matinee on a Wednesday, the audience was older, and I felt like 75 years old was "The Sweet Bird of Youth," but that's okay. My funky appearance caused a few of the Brookfield matrons to stare, but I'm used to that in Milwaukee. The town can be myopic and provincial in how they treat older men who dress “arty.”

It was a great experience, and I thank Kat Edmondson and the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center...

My wife and I attended a small wedding today that went to Mitchell Park to take some nice pictures. Due to the rain, we went under the canopy outside of the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center. We were there for about 20 minutes and took some photos. Unfortunately, an employee from the center came out and rudely complained to the bride because she didn't reserve the space or pay for the right to be there. We were appalled. We thought the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center was a resource that the community was welcome to enjoy. No one actually went into the building. Why was it necessary to complain to the bride? Everyone walked away saying, "Wow. I'll never come back here...

The Sharon Lynn Wilson facility is absolutely stunning and a remarkable multifunctional use of space. It offers a full performance theater as well as cozy nooks for art displays, beautiful dance studios, art studios, intimate cabaret space, and the phenomenal signature fireplace in the entrance lounge. It is such a treat to attend any of the performances whether indoors or out. The facility is surrounded by Mitchell Park which makes it seem as though you've traveled to the Northern woods; hard to believe it's within the city! You'll find the staff to be very congenial and welcoming. They are all so very talented and passionate that it carries over to...
