Milwaukee, WI Theatre Newsroom

Milwaukee Rep has revealed complete cast and creative teams for the last shows in their 2023/24 season.

What did our critic think of LITTLE WOMEN at Milwaukee Repertory Theater? Real. Just as you are. Those are a couple of the key themes in Kate Hamill’s new adaptation of the classic Little Women. On stage now at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater under the direction of Marti Lyons, Little Women opens with a cozy scene: a miniature house with a smoking chimney set against sumptuous red velvet curtains.

First Stage, one of the nation’s leading theaters for young people and families, will host its 30th annual Make Believe Ball on Saturday, February 24, 2024.

The Milwaukee Art Museum commences its new Winter Series with the installation of Iceberg (2020) by Larry Bell. Open to the public with free admission during Museum hours, the monumental sculpture will be on view in Windhover Hall through March 10, 2024.

What did our critic think of GUYS ON ICE at MILWAUKEE REPERTORY THEATER? In the Milwaukee Rep’s 25th anniversary production of Guys on Ice, heaven is a place where there’s always “a couple two-tree” Leine’s in the cooler and every day is Packers Sunday. At a glance, this hit show may feel like a precursor to that Charlie Berens brand of Midwest-focused “ya der hey” humor—and it is. It’s also more than that.
