Wes Kruse writes and directs The Frankie Cox Story (Story of "Grandpa Gump")



The Frankie Cox story offers more than entertainment; with live Jazz, acting and social commentary! After every performance, the audience will have the opportunity to weigh in on the play with comments and questions!





If you are within 100 to 200 miles or you can fly in, 
you'll love this rare production celebrating the life of this Jazz Icon
of Superior Wisconsin and Tony's Cabaret!

Wow, what a play! If you like local history, great jazz music, great actors portraying great people, then this is the show for you. The Douglas County Historical Theater is proud to premiere "The Frankie Cox Story", Frankie was a local legend in Superior. He played jazz trumpet at Tony's Cabaret for 44 years. 

We have a great jazz band under the direction of Randy Lee. You are invited to step back with us to listen to and watch Frankie and his musical career that spans over seven decades. 

And, if you come dressed in swing dance attire, you are invited to dance during the show and you will get in at a discount cost. 

So come listen to jazz music, hear Frankie tell his story and live life to the fullest.
