Kickshaw Theatre to Present MILVOTCHKEE, VISCONSIN and THE DING DONGS as Part of 2019/2019 Season

Kickshaw Theatre, Ann Arbor's pop-up professional theatre, will stage two full productions for their 2018-19 season, their 4th since the company's founding in 2015. "At Kickshaw, we dig deep, turn over every rock to find the freshest, most original voices in the American Theatre today," says Artistic Director Lynn Lammers. "These plays are bold and surprising and absolutely beg to be experienced live."

2018/19 Season

Milvotchkee, Visconsin

by Laura Jacqmin
September 13-October 7, 2018
Interfaith Center for Spiritual Growth, 704 Airport Blvd, Ann Arbor, MI 48108

Milvotchkee, Visconsin is the surreal and eye-opening story of Molly, a woman living with a hole in her head. Molly's lifetime of memories are falling right out of her head, and fast. Her surroundings become unfamiliar and distorted as she comes to grips with the challenges of her disease. Working with healthcare professionals she doesn't always understand and a family that doesn't always understand her, can she find a way to carry on with dignity and peace?

The Ding Dongs (or What Is the Penalty in Portugal?)
by Brenda Withers

March 28-April 14, 2019
trustArt Studios, 7885 Jackson Rd., Suite 1, Ann Arbor, MI 48103

When Joe and Natalie, a sweet-faced couple, show up on a suburban doorstep, the tight-lipped homeowner, Redelmo, finds their story suspicious: the house, they claim, was Joe's childhood home and they've driven all this way in hopes of getting a quick peek around. As a cat-and-mouse game steadily unfolds between a bewildered homeowner and two uninvited visitors, the mood of unease escalates into something like terror.
