Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Pabst Theater
by Cathy Jakicic - December 04, 2025
Though the Milwaukee Rep is presenting its 50th season of 'A Christmas Carol,' this year, the current production has the freshness and energy of a debut. Returning as Scrooge, Matt Daniels brings back his nimble physicality and vocals, making Dickens familiar words full of surprises. Whether grumpy or giddy, this Scrooge is an energetic sight to behold.

Review: MURDER GIRL at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre
by Sofia Ascorbe - November 24, 2025
As I walked into Studio Theatre at the Broadway Theatre Center, a neon sign reading “Marty’s Supper Club” prominently sat next to a scene with strung indoor Christmas lights, wood paneled walls, Packers memorabilia, and local beer signs. The low buzz of the lights hummed from Lisa Schlenker’s dimly lit set. As the house lights lowered and the show came alive, a door swung open into the bar from the cold, snowy, outside weather…we are in Wisconsin, and we are at Marty’s.
