What was Appleton like during the Progressive Era (1850 – 1920)? The turn of the century was a period of speculation and excitement. Americans felt the excitement of world fairs and new technologies entering their daily lives. This new exhibit at the History Museum hinges on Appleton’s evolution from a fledgling manufacturing town to a modern industrial center. Through a collection of 3,000 photographs, amateur photographer W.D. Schlafer captured this rapidly changing environment during the Progressive Era in the Fox Cities. Visitors will see how much Appleton and the Fox Cities evolved as new technologies and ideas changed the lives of area residents during this transformative period.

NORTH TO LAUNCH TITANIC, THE MUSICAL
Flags flew and hearts were high. She was unsinkable, unstoppable, unbeatable. So began the fateful voyage. Four days later she founders in dark waters and so her legend is born. Commemorating the 100th anniversary (1912-2012) of the sinking of the Titanic,
Appleton North High School Theatre and Music Departments will present “Titanic, The Musical” on March 8-18, 2012. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, “Titanic, The Musical” combines the true story of the magnificent and tragic “ship of dreams” with exceptional music, outstanding choreography, impressive scenic design, and exquisite period costuming in a powerfully moving theatrical production.
Grand in scale and featuring a large ensemble cast, the audience is introduced to the real-life individuals who played an integral part in the fateful voyage – the officers, crew and passengers – from all classes. Whether they travelled first class, second class or steerage, all the Titanic passengers stepped on board the massive “floating city” with a shared feeling of hope and wonder. As the audience becomes acquainted with the various individuals on board, they gain an intimate insight into human vulnerability and human strength in the face of disaster.
The beautiful soaring music throughout is stirring and monumental, telling the legendary story by weaving in and out of moments in the lives of all those on board the fateful voyage, rather than following the story of two fictional characters as in the popular movie. Incredibly moving and inspirational, North’s production of “Titanic, the Musical” is a historical journey as well as a musical one which honors those who were lost and those who survived on the centennial anniversary of their voyage. North’s production features a cast, crew, and orchestra of more than 140 students as well elaborate costumes and a set which incorporates actual images from the original ship’s voyage on a giant 30 foot wide projection backdrop screen. Appleton North theatre director Ron Parker states, “ We are very excited to bring this musical to the Fox Valley for the first time. Similar productions are being staged all over the world in 2012 to honor the hundredth anniversary of the sinking. Everyone knows the popular movie “Titanic,” but the Broadway musical actually premiered several months before, winning every major theatre award for that year including Best Musical, Best Book, Best Scenic Design, and Best Orchestration, yet because of the Hollywood film’s popularity, many people don’t even know that a musical “Titanic” exists. They’re in for quite a treat.”
In order to heighten the historical connection for the audience, each attendee upon entering the auditorium will receive their own "boarding pass" containing the name, age, and origin of a real passenger on the Titanic in 1912.
At the conclusion of the performance, each audience member will be able to discover the fate of the original owner of their boarding pass.
