The Northern Sky Theater 2026 season was filled with laughter and high spirits. Jordan was the wardrobe supervisor for both the summer outdoor season and the fall indoor season. There was a month-long build period in June before we began a 6-day, 7-show week through the end of August. The three outdoor shows were run in rep with each other. Our indoor season consisted of one show that was put together in conjunction with the Milwaukee Repertory Theater
