A Note From
Artistic Director Mark Clements
It should come as no surprise that our team at Milwaukee Rep reads a LOT of plays throughout the year. But I will say that it’s fairly rare for our team to read a play in its very first draft and then know instantly that not only do we all love it, but we want to produce it as soon as possible! That’s exactly what happened with The Heart Sellers.
Back in 2017, we produced Lloyd Suh’s The Chinese Lady in the Stiemke Studio as a “second production” in our John (Jack) D. Lewis New Play Development Program, where Lloyd worked with us to refine the production from knowledge attained from its first. The show enthralled and really captivated our audiences, we immediately knew we wanted to continue working with this talented playwright. When we commissioned Lloyd and asked what ideas he had for his next play; he presented the outline of The Heart Sellers, an intimate two-hander set in the 70s during an American holiday, that explored friendship and the “American Dream.” Then the pandemic hit.
The COVID-19 pandemic in many ways helped birth the version of The Heart Sellers you will see today. The script was written and developed in several Zoom readings and workshops during the height of the crisis. And though the kernel of the play’s idea was formed before 2020, the themes of loneliness, community, generosity, and finding friendship during the most turbulent time of your life were deepened during these past few years. They continue to resonate in more immediate and personal ways today.
Just as The Chinese Lady introduced us to a fantastic new playwright, The Heart Sellers is allowing us to bring on some incredible new artists to the Milwaukee Rep fold. We’re especially delighted to have acclaimed, LA-based director Jennifer Chang directing this World Premiere amid a top-tier cast and creative team.
Our New Play Development Program amongst many imperatives strives to produce work that features unheard voices, that speak to the present moment; that delights, challenges, and broadens the horizons of its richly diverse audiences. The Heart Sellers checks all these boxes. As we continue to navigate the lasting effects of the pandemic, learn to coexist with its new “norms,” or try to define the “American Dream.” We hope that all of you find solace, redemption, and hope in this story of resilience and friendship.
Thank you for your continued support of new work and living playwrights!
