History [edit]
The Weidner Centre's original souvenir came from surgeon David A. Cofrin (son of Austin Eastward. Cofrin and namesake of UW-Green Bay's library) with the stipulation that the center be located on the UW-Light-green Bay campus and that it serve the customs.[1] The university used land funds for the project as the original program for UW-Light-green Bay'southward campus included a performing arts center. Namesake chancellor Weidner began a fundraising campaign in the belatedly 1980s that raised the remainder of the $xviii.iv million required for the building. The university calls the Weidner Middle a "'comm-academy' center, supported by both the university and the communities of northeastern Wisconsin".[1]
1998 expansion [edit]
For the Weidner Center's fifth anniversary, donations from the Cofrin family financed an expansion that included a new black-box theatre named Studio Two, later renamed the Jean Weidner Theatre in honor of Ed Weidner's wife. The renovation also expanded the ticket office, added more vestibule restrooms, expanded backstage storage and dressing room space, constructed a semi-private dining area and nutrient service elevator, and relocated the Weidner Centre'due south administrative offices.[1]

Symphonic and other music-but performances routinely use the unabridged thrust. Cofrin Family unit Hall also contains a large pipe organ, the Woods Family Organ,[ii] built for the Weidner Middle's acoustics.[3] Nearly all of the Weidner Centre's touring acts perform in Cofrin Family Hall, with eclectic programming that includes concerts, comedians, Broadway shows, children's programming, and more.
