The Midsummer Music Menagerie

Submitted By Robin Krakauer

Oconomowoc, WI – With the warm weather approaching and plans for summer events starting, make sure you mark your calendar for these two spectacular OAC shows – Laura MacKenzie and the Lads and War Bonds – The Songs and Letters of World War II.

July 7 @ 7:00 PM, War Bonds – The Songs and Letters of World War II will transform the main stage into a by- gone era. Actual veteran’s stories create this sentimental journey back through the days when blackouts and rationing were a small sacrifice in order to obtain freedom. This production is a warm reminiscence and harrowing reminder of a time when the whole world seemed upside down.

Award winning artists, Serena Ebhardt and David zum Brunnen of EbzB Productions, a husband and wife team, bring in all the authenticity of period uniforms and clothing, along with the music, ambiance and props from the era.

“This show has taken off in ways we never thought would happen. We realized we had this treasure trove of information and that people needed to share stories about their experiences in WWII. It was important to us to document these life-changing moments in our history – not only for the people who lived through it, but for their families and future generations, “ – said Ebhardt.

This is the second season the OAC is offering the Midsummer Music Menagerie. These are both must see events!
