The Ripon Area Community Theatre (RACT) will be holding open auditions for their original spring play, “Blue Ribbons.” Tryouts will run on Sunday, April 14th, from 2-4pm; and Tuesday, April 16th, from 6:30-8:30pm, in the fellowship hall of the First Congregational Church (220 Ransom St, Ripon).
Pies, family, and more pies. What could be better than that? Why, winning the coveted blue ribbon at the annual town fair, obviously. For the last 20 years, Anne Cross and Deloris Doyle have done exactly that. It is now the twenty-first year of their not-so-friendly competition, and the two women stand tied with ten wins apiece. Their feud has become the stuff of town legend. Yet, their antics continue to take a toll on their families and community at large. Now, as Anne and Deloris square off for this year’s contest, the eccentric pie judges, scheming town board members and hapless families all become entangled in one last battle for the blue ribbon.
There are 6 major speaking roles; 2 females & 2 males (ages 40+); and 1 male and 1 female (ages 20+) There are also secondary and ensemble roles ranging from ages 16-100. Backstage crew roles are also open to the community. Performances are May 31st-June 2nd.
The Ripon Area Community Theatre is a sponsored program of the Ripon Noon Kiwanis.

Cellist and Ripon Native Sbowe, Returns to Thrasher on April 25
Green Lake, Wis. (March 18, 2024) – Sbowe, the solo project of Ripon native Rachel Icenogle, will be presented Thursday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. at Thrasher Opera House. Icenogle is a cellist and composer based in Calabria, Italy, originally from Ripon, Wisconsin – with a mind for new and interesting sounds. Sbowe aims to thrive in the scratchy, creaky, and whirly sounds the cello can make, layering musical textures in the groundwork for fables about insects and stories about human batteries.
Sbowe released new music entitled “Bat Hat” earlier this March.
This event is supported in part by a grant from the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the state of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Tickets for the Sbowe performance on Thursday, April 25, at 7:30 p.m. are $15 and are available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920-294-4279
