The La Crosse Public Library Archives is proud to present a new production of the popular Dark La Crosse Radio Show which will open at the Pump House Regional Arts Center on November 9, 2018. The show is scheduled to run November 9-10 & 15-17 at 7:30 PM, with a 2:00 PM matinee on Sunday, November 11. Tickets are now on sale at the Pump House box office. The unique production, performed in the style of an old-time radio and variety show, features all-new exclusive stories, period-appropriate live music, and a multi-media visual experience heavy on archival photographs.
Local talent will recreate true crime stories from La Crosse's past including murder in the pearl button industry, a notorious Red Light District madam, a 19th-century rail yard ghost that had the whole city on edge, and a love triangle saga almost too incredible to be believed cut right from the most outrageous tabloids - but it's true!
