The Center is the home of the Broadway Across America – Fox Cities series, the Boldt Arts Alive!

The Center has hosted the Wisconsin premieres of the Broadway blockbusters Disney's The Lion King, The Producers, Wicked, and Jersey Boys, Billy Elliot, Les Misérables, and Kinky Boots.

President George W. Bush delivered a speech at the Center during a campaign stop on March 30, 2004.

In 1999, Aid Association for Lutherans, now Thrivent, contributed $10 million – the largest philanthropic corporate gift in the history of the Fox Cities – towards the building of the Center.

The Center's board of directors and volunteer fundraisers raised $45 million in private contributions from over 2,700 local residents and businesses.
