MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Films can be live-streamed, restaurant food carried out, shopping done online, but the communal feeling and shared energy between a crowd and performer on stage cannot be replicated.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Mike Strehlow joined Pabst Theater Group CEO Gary Witt to shine the spotlight on a campaign that's rooted here in Milwaukee.
