An Encore for the Auditorium . . .

A Coda for The Cramer Exchange . . .

And a Bravo! to our Dreamers and Doers!

Thank You for Making Dreams Come True!

Over five years of planning. Seasons of tireless dedication. The bravery to envision. A community of dreamers and doers. Donors making an investment in our community’s future. These are the things that have brought us here today, thank you for sharing the journey.

This season, as Door County Auditorium celebrates its 35th Anniversary, our brand new second venue, The Cramer Exchange, has been abuzz with the programs, performances, and hospitality for which it was built.

We couldn't have made all of this happen without the community that showed up for our opening summer: folks who made flower bouquets for our tables and moved staging and chairs, friends who stepped behind the bar to serve drinks, catered our events, ushered, directed parking, served as crossing guards, and donated their time filling in wherever help was needed. Thank you all.

We are so grateful for the support of our project’s donors, vendors, and workers, both volunteers and staff. If you haven’t yet financially supported the project – or if you’ve been considering a second gift or naming opportunity – we invite you to donate at this exciting time. Support is needed as we begin our Coda Campaign, funding designated to offset start-up and operational costs affiliated with The Cramer Exchange’s new arts education offerings for youth and adults. Contributions will also allow community and school groups to make use of The Cramer Exchange’s facilities, amenities, A/V equipment, and staff support at affordable and accessible rental rates.

All arts aficionados know that a powerful performance deserves an encore. 

Naming Opportunities

All naming gifts will be recognized with donor plaques and signage. Plus, gifts of all sizes will be included on the Main Entrance naming wall in alphabetical order.

Folks interested in learning more are invited to contact DCA at support@dcauditorium.org or (920) 868-2728

Project Progress


In music terminology, a coda is a concluding passage that brings a piece or a movement to a formal end, often referring back to an earlier idea or passage meaningful to the work. It acts like an epilogue, offering a final sense of resolution after the main musical themes have finished.

We’re carefully planning every detail to meet our growing needs and improve visitor experiences. This new venue elevates our mission of providing diverse cultural experiences while fostering community connections. 

Join us in making this vision a reality by contributing to our capital campaign. Your support will help us bring this new chapter to life!
