International PEEPS Art Exhibition
Some of you love PEEPS! Some of you can't stand the Easter candy, but there’s one thing we can all get behind. In fact, southeastern Wisconsin has been doing it for a decade now! It’s the International PEEPS Art Exhibition at the Racine Art Museum. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the unconventional show. Find out what’s new this year, how the founder came up with the idea, and the cool ways the candy is being used to brighten up the museum galleries.
The Man Behind the PEEPS Piece
Meet one of the southeastern Wisconsin artists involved in this year’s International PEEPS Art Exhibition at the Racine Art Museum. Nick Schroeder shows off his creation and explains where he got the inspiration for it. He calls the piece, “Confession of a Carrot Eater."
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
It’s a childhood classic and one many adults would like to re-visit. Now you have a chance to see The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe come to life on stage. The play runs April 5th - April 14th at the Racine Theatre Guild. The director of the play, Christopher Elst, joins us to explain how he’s making the childhood favorite a hit in the theatre. We also learn how he’s using his training in stage combat for the show and how he worked with the costume designers on so many intricate outfits.
In-Studio Performance
We travel to the world of Narnia through the doors of CBS 58. Three of the actors from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at the Racine Theatre Guild are in our studio to show you what the audience will experience when attending the play.
