Tiny house. Big commotion.

Westport Country Playhouse will open its all-virtual 2021 production season with the regional premiere of “Tiny House,” a timely new comedy about downsizing, going green, escaping urban life, and fresh starts, written by Michael Gotch, and directed by Mark Lamos, Playhouse artistic director.

The Resident Ensemble Players will wrap up the 2020-2021 season with Agatha Christie's The Cornish Mystery, the REP's final story in The Poirot Mysteries. This audio production, adapted and directed by REP company member Michael Gotch, will captivate and intrigue you as the famous Detective Hercule Poirot expertly sorts through a web of lies.

Audiences will be welcomed back to Milwaukee Rep for the 2021/22 Season with 12 productions across four venues in the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex. To ensure vaccines have time to be fully distributed and work to their optimal level, the start of the 2021/22 Season will start October 29, 2021 and run through July 1, 2022.

Get ready to be on the edge of your seat as The Resident Ensemble Players presents Agatha Christie's The King of Clubs, the REP's first story in The Poirot Mysteries. This audio production will have you rapt with suspense as famous Detective Hercule Poirot expertly sorts through lies to reveal the truth.

After months of living with the constant strain and stress of the pandemic and everything that has come with it, we all have a powerful need for the escape and joyous distraction of a rollicking comedy - the kind of comedy that replaces anxiety with belly laughs and tension with tickled funny bones.

While racial tensions in America are at a peak, the Resident Ensemble Players (REP) continues its imaginative audio season with a daring look at all things racial with their world premiere of Talk About Race, conceived, written, and directed by REP company member Hassan El-Amin.
