Unfortunately, "Up Close (But Not Too Up Close)," a fresh mix of old and new holiday tales by the beloved John McGivern in the Pabst Theater, has been pushed back until spring due to COVID-19.
The shows will be rescheduled, for socially-distanced audiences, for the following dates in February and March and will take on a slightly different theme as UP CLOSE (but not too close) with John McGivern.
The shows will still include a fresh mix of old and new tales, from John’s childhood days on Milwaukee’s Eastside to recent events in the midst of the pandemic.
New dates:
- Friday, Feb. 26 – 7 p.m.
- Saturday, Feb. 27 – 2 p.m. & 7 p.m.
- Sunday, Feb. 28 – 2 p.m.
- Friday, March 5 – 7 p.m.
- Saturday, March 6 – 2 p.m. & 9 p.m.
