Mix Vaudeville, Agatha Christie, and the board game Clue, and you come up with the hilariously clever Murder For Two. Written by award-winning duo Joe Kinosian and Kellen Blair, this show highlights just two actors who play ALL of the parts-10, to be exact. 90 minutes of zany comedy come to the shocking finale where we find out if Mrs. Whitney did it in the entryway with a knife or if the psychiatrist did it on the porch with a gun...or was it someone else entirely?
It's a beautiful show, gorgeously mounted, with a couple of questionable moves that do not detract from its overall loveliness.
freeFall's 2018/2019 season opens with our most requested musical, THE FANTASTICKS. "Try to Remember" a time when this romantic charmer wasn't enchanting audiences around the world.

The result is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time.

There are quite a few things that out-of-towners don't understand about our great Dairy State: bubblers, cheese curds, cow tipping, and (probably) ice fishing. For many Wisconsinites, ice fishing is more than just a wintertime hobby - it's a way to reaffirm friendships and escape from the wider world. At least, that's what Lloyd and Marvin do in Fred Alley's homegrown Guys on Ice - a musical comedy about ice fishing
