Paradigm Presents: Community Playlist - The Great Friendsgiving
What better way to spend an evening than celebrating the talent, heart, and community that makes Sheboygan shine? Don’t miss Community Playlist - The Great Friendsgiving, Paradigm’s biggest cabaret fundraiser of the year and the ultimate way to close out the year with a bang! Incredible local talent, big laughs, and even bigger love for the arts.
This is a fundraiser, folks! Ticket sales and donations collected during The Great Friendsgiving benefit: The Sheboygan Theatre Company, Lakeshore Chorale, Theatre for Young Audiences, Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra, Sheboygan Symphony Youth Orchestra, and future Community Playlist Cabaret fundraisers.
Interested in being a Sponsor of The Great Friendsgiving? Your donation is more than a gift- it’s an investment in the sustainability of local art and the creative voices who inspire it. We would be honored to speak further about ways your generosity can bring this project to life. Please email Michael Kraig Beeck to learn more: michael.k.beeck@gmail.com
What is Community Playlist?
Launched in early 2025, Community Playlist was created by Michael Kraig Beeck, alongside Kate Krause and Mags Hernandez (Paradigm), as a stage for the community, by the community, to celebrate the talent and diversity of local musical performers. Designed for those who may not be able to fully commit to the schedule and demands of traditional theatre, the show embraces a cabaret-style, semi-rehearsed format. Community Playlist is the soundtrack to Sheboygan. Entirely volunteer-run, 100% of proceeds from ticket sales, donations, and gratuities benefit a featured nonprofit organization each evening.
