We like to think of ourselves as theater for non-theater people. If you combine an episode of Saturday Night Live with a pop concert, you might have an idea of what a Let Me Be Frank Productions show includes. Let Me Be Frank Productions has been entertaining N.E. Wisconsin for over two decades. Since beginning in 2000, we have shared over 120 different shows to over 300,000 audience members – and we’re still going strong! We are fast becoming people’s most favorite theater destination in Wisconsin. Our all-original musicals will have you wowing at the talent, laughing in the aisle and singing a tune of yesteryear on your way home. With titles like, “Bay Beach Boys,” “2 1/2 Belgians,” and “Fort Howard: We Wipe America” we invite you to come and join in on the fun at the historic Meyer Theatre in downtown Green Bay. See you at the show!

Pat Hibbard
Hard to believe Let Me Be Frank Productions is entering its 27th season (my 26th!). It still feels brand new! I’ve been involved in well over 2000 performances and still have to pinch myself every time that curtain opens. Thank you, Frank, for your vision and the incredible opportunity. It is an honor! I’m proud and grateful to be part of it. Major props to our cast and crew. They are the absolute best in the business. Yes, we have amazing vocalists, actors, band members, sound tech, and lighting design, but let’s not forget all the behind-the-scenes stuff. We also have stellar people in marketing, sales, accounting, costumes, set design…. the list goes on. We couldn’t do it without you, and I love you all like family! Speaking of family; special thanks go to my wife Tina, and my incredible kids, Zach and Abbie, for their never-ending support. It has been an absolute blast getting to share the stage with my son Zach! I say this every year but. none of this would be possible without you, our fans and supporters. You are the reason we’re still here and going strong. I’m looking forward to meeting more of you this year. Enjoy the show and “here’s to another 27 years!”

John Singer
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is John Singer, and I’m a guitar player. I sing too! It’s not just a clever name. But for our purposes here, we’ll stick to the guitar. Growing up in the twin cities of Marinette / Menominee, I was taught privately by my mentor / local legend, Gerry Cain. I would later take my talents to a larger twin cities where I attended the McNally-Smith College of Music in St. Paul, Minnesota. Graduating with a BAS-Guitar Performance in 2010, my musical journey has spanned Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. With my greatest joy thus far being performing with my mentor, Gerry Cain, and his musical family in Singer-Cain. I look forward to sharing my passion with you. I’ll see you at curtain call.

Nate is also the producer and editor for Frankly Green Bay T.V. segment on Local 5 Live.
Michael P. Hermans
Michael Hermans takes on George Jones in Frank’s Tribute—because every show needs a little heartbreak, a little honky-tonk, and a whole lot of Possum. Known for nailing the signature Jones sound (and for occasionally refusing to do anything “the easy way,” just like the man himself), Michael brings the smooth twang, classic country charm, and playful attitude fans love. Whether he’s belting the big ballads or leaning into George’s legendary wit, Michael keeps the crowd smiling, singing, and sometimes tearing up… but in a good way, we promise.
Sue Pilz
Sue is the reason we have wonderful cast and performance photos. Sue is our resident Let Me Be Frank Productions photographer, handling cast headshots, promotional photos, and live images from our shows. She extends beyond LMBF with her photography business, Sue Pilz Photography, where she has grown her repertoire to include senior photos, wedding portraits, and baby and family photography, to name a few! When she isn’t behind the lens, she works at Rhyme Business Products. You may recognize her last name too – she’s the wife of “Mr. Orchestra” Tony Pilz! Sue feels very fortunate to work with such a talented cast of amazing people capturing photos of the characters they portray show after show!!
Bev Riemer
Bev Riemer has made many fabulous costumes for Let Me Be Frank’s throughout the years and is always happy to help out whenever a zipper is broken or a button is popped! For 30 years, she ran her own in-home daycare, and is one of the most patient people you could ever meet! This amazing woman also babysits the Hermans kids so Amy & Frank can perform for all of you. LMBF Productions would literally not be possible without her!
Linda Groskopf

I am thankful for the encouragement, support, and prolific patience of my family, friends, and coworkers. Thank you all!
