2015-04-19 - The organ was built in 1927 for the Orpheum Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin, and was originally a 3/9 instrument. The Weill Center for the Performing Arts was previously the Sheboygan Theatre, which had opened in 1928. In 1996, the building was purchased and restored by a community theatre foundation, and transformed into the Weill Center. Previously, when it was still the Sheboygan Theatre, the building originally housed a 2/7 Wurlitzer "Style E", opus 1828, which was sold before the theatre became the Weill Center. -Database Manager

2022-09-27 - The 3-manual, [now] 12-rank Kimball was originally built in 1927 for the Orpheum Theatre in Madison, Wisconsin. A Madison area musician purchased the instrument from the Orpheum and installed it in his home, where it was enjoyed by many over the years. It was then acquired by the Sheboygan Theatre, and reinstalled there by a Manitowoc, Wisconsin organ builder in 2002. The Kimball made its debut to a standing-room-only audience in the spring of 2003. The Weill Center/Sheboygan Theatre possesses excellent acoustics, and the Kimball sounds magnificent in the room! -- Dairyland Theatre Organ Society website -Paul R. Marchesano
