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

In 2010, co-founders David Adler and David Stoler (The Steely Daves) thought it'd be a great idea to put together a tribute “SHOW” for Steely Dan, featuring the best musicians in the Madison, WI music scene. Madison is located in Dane County, WI, thus the name. The first Steely Dane show featured over 30 of Madison's best rock and jazz musicians, and it sold out the High Noon Saloon. Not ones to waste a herculean effort of arranging a full night's worth of the Dan's best stuff, the crew decided to do it again, and again,…..and oops, now it's no longer a show, it's a BAND. Since then, the band has trimmed down to the current 14-piece family that features a four-piece horn section, two female backup singers, two guitars, two keyboards, vibes, and percussion...aAll of the instruments necessary to recreate the amazing mixes of the Dan's albums and live performances. The band has won multiple awards for best tribute band, they've sold out theaters from Chicago to Minneapolis, and packed summer festivals scattered throughout as well. Their songbook features over 50 songs from both Steely Dan and Donald Fagen's solo career, allowing them to play different shows night after night, even including complete album shows for The Royal Scam, Aja, and Gaucho.
