Third Avenue PlayWorks (TAP) — Attraction in Sturgeon Bay

We had been coming to Door County for close to 30 years and had always enjoyed various county theatre productions but had never gone to TAP. Sturgeon Bay seemed far away from where we stayed, so we never made the effort to spend time in the city. That all changed when we moved to the county full time in the summer of 2021. We became subscribers in 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed the seasons' diverse offerings. We did not hesitate to renew for 2023 as soon as subscriptions opened. Last night we saw the world premiere of I Carry Your Heart With Me and it was an incredible experience. We sat transfixed for the short (65 minute) but powerful one character play. Karen Estrada had command of the stage, taking us through a wide range of emotions and delivering a fantastic performance. It was, quite simply, one of the best, most engaging, and thought-provoking night of theatre we have ever seen. If you have the opportunity, go see this show or any show that TAP offers. If you don't have the opportunity, you will be missing out on a first-rate...

Better than theater in Chicago and L.A.!!! If your are reading this and The Mystery of Irma Vep is still playing, it is a MUST see!!! It is hilarious, fun, and we are still laughing recalling the rapid fire, quick change, energy packed production we saw! The actors Karen Estrada and Natalie Rich should be on Broadway, yes they are THAT GREAT!!! This is a gem of a place and I am sure no matter what they are going to produce next will be as awesome. No matter where you are staying in Door County or anywhere nearby, you need to know you have some extreme talent right there in Sturgeon Bay!!! To my friends in the Chicagoland area, this show, and any show they put on will be top notch, and worthy planning your entire stay around. We will be back, and we will look forward to visiting this very cosmopolitan production company again and again!!! Highly...

We just saw 39 Steps at Third Avenue Playworks (TAP) and… WOW. What an absolute blast! From the moment the lights came up, the physical antics of the cast had us laughing non-stop.

How four incredibly talented performers managed to play so many characters, switch costumes in a heartbeat, and move set pieces with such perfect timing is mind-blowing. The pace was so fast and the energy so high that we were practically exhausted just from laughing—and from watching the cast dash, spin, and transform right before our eyes.

It’s smart, it’s silly, it’s brilliantly executed, and it’s the kind of theater magic that reminds you why live performances are so special. Bravo to TAP for delivering a show that’s as clever as it...
