Third Avenue Playhouse began as a dream-a dream of providing a high quality, year-round community performing arts center in Door County.  Conceived in 1999 by a group of ten local visionaires, the theater first opened its doors in Fall 2000 as a fledgling communtiy theater supported by a small group of enthusiastic volunteers.

In only a little more than five years, the dream  became a reality providing a warm, welcoming environment in which family and friends can enjoy quality entertainment at an affordable price.  In addition to musical and theatrical performances, Third Avenue Playhouse also offers classes and workshops throughout the year and is also available as a venue for civic and community organizations. 

Eli Mattson was the runner up  on the third season of  America’s Got Talent.    Eli’s music is similar to Elton John and Billy Joel.  Before Eli’s debut on America’s Got Talent, he played at concerts at TAP.  His first concert this past Friday was sold out so he added another.  Three of us from Westwood Shores Waterfront Resort were lucky enough to get tickets for his first show at TAP.  This is the third time that I have personnally been to Eli’s concerts.  This time we had front row center seats!  His concerts get better and better each time I see him.  Everyone enjoyed the show and after the show he does a “meet and greet” where you can have your picture taken with Eli and get an autograph.

Eli was heading to Nashville the day after the concerts to start recording an album.  We wish Eli the best of luck in his future and can’t wait until he comes back to Door County for another concert.
