In 2018, Ken Fitzsimmons, Jason Fassl, and Sarah Marty partnered with John Wedge and Sean Michael Dargan to produce a “rock and roll history show,” World War I, Wisconsin, and Why It Still Matters. An electric, sold out show at The Barrymore led to a remount at the Wisconsin Union Theater in 2019 and a partnership with PBS Wisconsin who livestreamed and archived the show.

Fitzsimmons, Fassl, and Marty have reunited for the next installment -- a project about the year 1919.

You’re invited to a special preview of “When the Darkness Comes: 1919 and the Search for Peace” where we gather friends, fans, and supporters for a sneak peek at this project, which is being developed for a Madison premiere in Fall 2025, followed by a tour across the state.
