You’ll experience jaw-dropping projections and special effects at this opening production in the new Herro-Franke Studio Theater, as McNeal explores the price of greatness and raises vital questions about art, truth and originality in the not-too-distant future.

We’re baaaack!
We are proud to announce that registration is now open for our seventh annual Galentine’s Day Soirée! And guess what, this is also RAYNE IX’s 5 Year Anniversary Party! Double the fun, it’s gonna be a great night!
We are so grateful that the Experience Milwaukee at Wantable Cafe has invited us back for the third year in a row. This year’s theme is all about reframing and embracing imposter syndrome! We’ll socialize, schmooze, snack, drink, mingle, have a 45-minute panel discussion, and then back to all the fun stuff!
Panel Discussion: The R.E.A.L. Confidence™ Paradox: Why Imposter Syndrome is the Gateway to Fearless Leadership
Imposter syndrome shows up when we’re stretching into something bigger—new roles, new opportunities, new challenges. Too often, we mistake it as a weakness when in reality, it can be the signal that we’re on the edge of growth.
In this panel discussion, we’ll explore how reframing imposter syndrome can unlock the path to fearless leadership. Referencing the R.E.A.L. Confidence™ framework, our panelists will share stories of how they have embraced “imposter moments” to tackle challenges, build unwavering confidence, and lead fearlessly.
Attendees will walk away with a renewed sense of motivation, actionable strategies, and the new perspective to reframe “imposter moments” as stepping stones toward fearless leadership.

Join us for a lively evening of refreshments, desserts, and bubbly beverages while you mingle! And we’re still ironing out the details, but with a 5 year anniversary celebration included, we can guarantee it’ll be an evening to remember!

So Good! The Neil Diamond Experience with Robert Neary
2026-02-12 19:30 - 21:00 | The Pabst Theater, 144 E Wells St, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 53202, United States
A show unlike any tribute you have ever seen or heard before. Broadway, television, and motion picture actor, Robert Neary creates a one of a kind, cut above the rest, production. He talks about the songs and tells stories behind them, from Neil’s interviews, quotes, and autobiographical books. You will swear you are watching the master himself, as he and the band perform 20 of Neil Diamond’s greatest hits. Songs like “Cherry Cherry”, “I Am, I Said”, “I’m a Believer”, “Solitary Man”, “Holly Holy”, “Coming to America”, “Sweet Caroline” and so many more. With a surprise finale that will leave you absolutely breathless, So Good! The Neil Diamond Experience is guaranteed to leave you speechless!
Born and raised in East Meadow, Long Island, NY, Robert Neary gained immediate success as an actor, when he was 20 years old, with a guest star role in the Television series “Fame”, and then opposite Jason Bateman in the film, “Teen Wolf Too”. He has since gone on to guest star in over 50 television shows, including “Criminal Minds”, “Sons of Anarchy”, “The Closer”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, ” Blue Bloods”, “Justified”, “The Fosters”, “FBI: Most Wanted”, “Weeds”, “Medium” “NCIS” and “NCIS New Orleans”. He landed his first Broadway show in 1996, starring in “Smokey Joe’s Café”, and then toured as the evil Zoser in Elton John’s Broadway hit “Aida”. He understudied the lead role of Sonny in the Broadway smash, “A Bronx Tale, The Musical”.
Robert grew up listening, mimicking, and creating his style to only 2 people in the music world. Elvis Presley and Neil Diamond. It has been a deep passion, to one day perform and put together a tribute show to Neil Diamond like none other. And here it is.
