The Playhouse at Overture in Madison, WI
Proudly showcasing talented local singers and musicians, Four Seasons Theatre continues our Great American Songbook series with The Music of Irving Berlin. Berlin's career spanned over 50 years, bridging Tin Pan Alley and Broadway, radio and Hollywood. From his first big hit, "Alexander's Ragtime Band" (1911), and tunes made popular by Fred Astaire ("Cheek to Cheek," "Puttin' on the Ritz," and more) to movie musicals like White Christmas (1943) and patriotic favorites like "God Bless America", The Irving Berlin Songbook pays tribute to one of America's most beloved composers.
Tickets are available now through the Overture Center online, by phone at (608) 258-4141, or in person.

Support Four Seasons Theatre
Now in our seventh full season we hope that you'll take a moment to show your support for Four Seasons Theatre.
With an annual budget of just under $125,000 we’ve continued to produce high quality musical theatre and to support a variety of educational outreach programs in the greater Madison area. Last season alone, over 5,341 community members benefitted from FST programming from direct participants to audience members. We offered both paid performances (at the Wisconsin Union Theater, Mitby Theater, and Majestic Theatre) and many free outreach concerts, masterclasses, and lectures at venues including Capitol Lakes Retirement Community and UW Summer Music Clinic. Among the direct beneficiaries of our programming were over 300 singers, actors, technical theatre artists, high school and college student interns, and musicians who participated in FST musical theatre productions and workshops.
