Tommy O's Playhouse kicks off its summer season Wednesday.
There is a wide mix of shows this year from an old-time country music show to plays written by locals.

MADISON - The state Supreme Court says the city of Madison doesn't owe a billboard company anything because an overpass blocked the company's sign.
The city built an overpass in 2013 that blocks the view of one side of an Adams Outdoor Advertising sign. The company sued demanding compensation, alleging the overpass construction prevents the company from fully using its property and therefore amounts to a government taking.

"[Class was] better than wasting time and just sitting and doing nothing in prison," Pranke said.

LAKE TOMAHAWK - Heavy rain this weekend nearly delayed the start of Lake Tomahawk's snowshoe baseball season.
The Snowhawks will begin their 12 game schedule Monday night against Newswatch 12.
Early Monday, it looked like the field at Snowshoe Park might be too wet to play on.
Snowhawks Manager Jeff Smith said the sun Monday afternoon has helped prepare the wood chips on the field for the game.
"Once you get them ruffed up, it kind of pulls the moisture out. It's kind of nice to have the sun going, because it will dry some of that right up. It takes a little while, it takes a little wind, but with everything going on now it's going to make big improvements by game time," said Smith.
