Dear Audience Members,
It’s great to have you with us. The 2025–26 performing arts season is a blend of outstanding music, comedy, dance, and drama sure to entertain and rouse the emotions while reminding us all of everything we love about the arts.
Each production is made possible through the hard work and support of our staff, volunteers, students, faculty, benefactors, sponsors, the FSPA whose vision and courage made the Fine Arts Center possible, and of course, you—our patrons. Thank you to everyone for your crucial role in making Viterbo University the premier destination for the arts in the region.
If you have not yet had the pleasure, I would like to extend a personal invitation to attend one of our Conservatory for the Performing Arts productions this season. The immense talent of our students always makes me extremely proud.
Now, on with the show!
“Pace e Bene”
Peace and all good
Rick Trietley
Viterbo University President
Two lifelong fishing buddies, Marvin and Lloyd, spend a winter day inside an ice-fishing shanty on a frozen lake. As they wait for fish to bite, they pass the time talking about life, love, and their favorite beer while sharing humorous stories and reflections. The musical celebrates the quirky culture of Midwestern ice fishing through comedic dialogue and catchy songs. Since its debut in 1998, "Guys on Ice" has become a Wisconsin favorite, entertaining sold-out audiences across the state and beyond with its lighthearted look at friendship and local traditions.
