The Nicolet Players Present : Over The River And Through The Woods
Nick Cristano is a young marketing executive who routinely visits his four grandparents every Sunday for dinner, governed by the three “Fs” - family, faith, and food. Now he has to break the news that he has been offered his long-awaited dream job. It comes with a price, however... and his grandparents, in their own inimitable way, scheme to prevent him from accepting it. An Off-Broadway sensation, Over the River is a hilarious comedy about the shift in priorities over the generations, with family and home at its core. Learn More >

Zorba Paster
Dr. Zorba Paster is an NPR host, broadcast journalist, author, university professor, practicing family physician, and one of the Dalai Lama’s personal physicians. Zorba’s down-to-earth, personal style makes his Saturday NPR show both entertaining and informative. Dr. Paster’s presentation will be based on his book, “The Longevity Code: Your personal prescription for a longer, sweeter life.” He touches on five spheres that impact a person’s life – physical, mental, social, spiritual, and material.
Backtrack
A YouTube sensation with performances at Carnegie Hall, Backtrack is a five-person a cappella group based in New York City that explores the power of the human voice through unique vocal arrangements, tight harmonies, and world-class beatboxing. They infuse heart and humor into every performance and push the limits of a cappella by creating impressive covers of past and present pop music, writing inspiring original compositions, and daring to take on unexpected genres such as classical and electronic music.
