Listen: WTMJ Conversations: Angie Mack
Milwaukee Magazine, March 2024 Issue, “Singing the Blues”
“Mack first heard about Grafton’s blues heritage around 2002. She started a website to digitize information about Paramount’s presence in Grafton. ‘I thought this information needed to be more well known, so I began a crusade to educate people,’ she says.” — Tom Kertscher, Milwaukee Magazine, March 2024
“Go big or go home. Because it’s true. What do you have to lose?”~Eliza Dushku
This quote is a favorite of Angie Mack because it is how she lives life and that is why I would like to introduce her to you. “Being drawn to the performing arts, everything I do is big; anything I have ever done, I have put 110 percent into it, whether performing, acting, directing or teaching,” she says.
