Heidi Armbruster News

Milwaukee Repertory Theater has released first look footage of MRS. CHRISTIE, Heidi Armbruster's effervescent new comedy now playing through May 10, 2026 at the Ellen & Joe Checota Powerhouse Theater, in a co-production with Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.

Heidi Armbruster brings heart and humor of real-life mystery of “Mrs. Christie.” Agatha Christie created more than 80 mysteries over her legendary career, but only one didn’t come with a solution. It’s the one she created when she disappeared for 11 days in 1926. Christie never explained her disappearance, but plenty of other writers have given it a try. The latest is playwright Heidi Armbruster, with her comedy “Mrs. Christie.”

Milwaukee Repertory Theater will continue its inaugural season in the Associated Bank Theater Center with Mrs. Christie, a witty new play that blends mystery, memory, and the magic of storytelling.
