Photo Flash: First Look at Marty Lodge, Ben Charles and More in Milwaukee Rep's HOW THE WORLD BEGAN

Religion and science collide in playwright Catherine Trieschmann's How the World Began, a visceral examination of the way in which we navigate interpersonal beliefs - and just how hard it is to truly listen to one another in an increasingly polarized world. Rep Associate Artistic Director Brent Hazelton will direct the play, which will feature Rep Associate Artist Deborah Staples. The cast also features Ben Charles and Marty Lodge, both newcomers to The Rep. How the World Began runs in the Stiemke Studio from January 16 - February 24, and opens on Friday, January 18.

The cast includes: Ben Charles - Micah Staab, Marty Lodge - Gene Dinkel, and Deborah Staples - Susan Pierce.

The creative team for How the World Began includes Brent Hazelton (Director), Scott Davis (Scenic Designer); Rachel Laritz (Costume Designer); Jaymi Lee Smith (Lighting Designer); Barry G. Funderburg (Sound Designer); Richelle Harrington Calin (Stage Manager).
