LOVE & SOUTHERN D!SCOMFORT Comes To Milwaukee

Black Arts MKE, Adam Slater Productions and Patton Daye Slater Productions present the captivating new musical "Love & Southern D!scomfort" in Milwaukee this May.

After standing ovations and a critical success during LASD's World Premiere in Charleston, South Carolina in January, music, mystery, and good old-fashioned family drama will collide at The Wilson Theater at Vogel Hall in the Marcus Performing Arts Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from May 6 through May 10.

Featuring Tony Award Nominee Felicia P. Fields from The Color Purple and Milwaukee's finest actors, Love and Southern D!scomfort blends the lush backdrop of rural Louisiana with unbridled jealousy, joy, and pain as it weaves a gripping tale about an old-money family torn apart by money, addiction, and a long buried family secret.
