The Council for the Performing Arts in Jefferson, WI, was a nonprofit organization founded in 1976 with the goal of raising funds for a high-quality auditorium at Jefferson High School that could be used by both the school and the community. Over the course of five decades, the CPA introduced a diverse range of performances, bringing countless artists of national and international renown to the 1,000-seat auditorium. Despite facing challenges in recent years, the CPA played a significant role in enriching the cultural life of Jefferson County, introducing local audiences to a wide array of music, dance, and other performing arts. Through partnerships with community sponsors, the CPA was able to bring affordable and varied entertainment directly to the neighborhood, offering residents the opportunity to experience acts they may not have otherwise encountered. In addition to hosting performances by renowned artists such as Gaelic Storm, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, and John McGivern, the CPA also staged locally produced musicals during the Gemuetlichkeit Days German historical event, attracting visitors from across the region. While the organization faced disbandment in late 2021 due to a lack of board members and volunteers, its legacy remains, leaving Jefferson County culturally enriched and its residents with cherished memories of the performing arts.Generated from the website
