Bright Beautiful World: The Infectious Joy of Pat McCurdy

Over more than 50 years and 12,000 performances in Milwaukee and beyond, Pat McCurdy has cultivated a fiercely loyal fan base and a reputation for spreading infectious joy. He may not be a household name, but to those who know him, Pat is unforgettable. Bright Beautiful World is an uplifting portrait of an artist who found success on his own terms — and of the deep, decades-long love affair between a musician and the fans who keep showing up.

The doumentary will have its world premiere at the Milwaukee Film Festival on April 25 and 26. Tickets will be available online starting April 8 and in-person at the Oriental Theatre on April 10.

You are encouraged to get tickets as soon as possible since there is always a chance that the screenings could sell out. Also, be sure to get to the theater before start time; if the screening is sold out, they will start giving available seats to people in the stand-by line. Once the theater is full, your non-refundable ticket will be useless.
