JOHN MCGIVERN'S HOLIDAY TALES

Event Description

John McGivern serves up a steady stream of stories from his Wisconsin childhood. They recall an age of innocence bounded by snow days and Thanksgiving dinners, handcrafted Christmas toys, trees purchased at the Odd-Lot-Tree-Lot, the annual WE Energies Christmas Cookie Book, New Years Eves in the finished basement and life in the McGivern Household around the Holidays. This show recounts holidays past and present and is guaranteed to generate loads of laughs and a warm, holiday glow.

John McGivern is best known for his Emmy-award winning work on PBS. John spent nine seasons on PBS with his weekly series, AROUND THE CORNER with John McGivern. His new show, JOHN McGIVERN’S MAIN STREETS, can be found on PBS stations in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Michigan, and Iowa.

Hearing Enhancement

The Ashwaubenon Performing Arts Center is equipped with a Hearing Loop System that cuts out a significant amount of background noise for audience members with hearing aids or cochlear implants. Our special Hearing Loop receivers can be checked out free of charge at Coat Check.  A driver’s license or credit card is held until the unit is returned after the show.

To utilize the hearing loop system, hearing aids must be equipped with a telecoil, or a T-coil.  The T-coil in the hearing aid must be activated by an audiologist and switched on.

If you do not have a T-coil equipped hearing aid or cochlear implant but wish to benefit from the hearing loop system, a special receiver and earpiece can also be checked out free of charge.
