The Distinguished Guest Series premiered in 1944 as part of the Kohler Women’s Club led by Ruth DeYoung Kohler. The club recognized the importance of having a strong arts presence and offering residents exposure to a variety of performance styles. And those philosophies are still at the forefront of the series, a news release said.

Here’s a closer look at the 80th season.
