Skylight Rocks: Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band
A Concert Benefiting Skylight Music Theatre
July 14th, 7PM, at the Aurora Pavilion at Henry Maier Festival Park
Join us for a night of unforgettable music as award-winning actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise and his celebrated Lt. Dan Band take the stage in their first-ever public performance in Milwaukee — all in support of Skylight Music Theatre.
For 65 years, Skylight Music Theatre has been Milwaukee’s home for exceptional musical theatre—but like many performing arts organizations, we are navigating rising costs, shrinking funding, and evolving audience trends in a post-pandemic world.
Thanks to the generosity of Gary Sinise and the Gary Sinise Foundation, all proceeds from this special benefit concert will provide necessary operating funds, helping us keep the curtain up and continue bringing transformative, professional musical theatre to our community.
Be part of this moment! Buy your tickets today and help keep Skylight’s stage alive for years to come!
