PORTRAIT OF MILWAUKEE ARTS MKE’s guide to performances, concerts and exhibits
Each September for more than a decade, the Shepherd Express’ Fall Arts Guide has served as a comprehensive calendar with critics’ picks on events in the months to come. Our 2019 Fall Arts Guide is the fullest portrait of the performing and visual arts we have yet produced. It is, by any measure, the largest in scale. The variety and range of performances and exhibitions are huge. Whether community or institutionally based, virtually every style and theme is represented somewhere this season in Milwaukee and surrounding counties. The diversity of offerings is almost astonishing in its breadth and supports something all of us have known all along: Milwaukee is a wonderful place to live.

Dad’s Season Tickets (World Premiere) NORTHERN SKY THEATER, EPHRAIM, WIS.
“Theater that makes you think” should be the tagline for the play, Doubt, presented by Company of Strangers. Viewed through the cultural lens of years of allegations made against abusive priests, this story will make audiences question what constitutes suspicious behavior and what is simply a friendly overture. One thing is certain: while questions will surface in viewers minds, no one will leave without an opinion about this story. Expect great postplay discussions with those who attend with you.

The Milwaukee Rep’s performance of West Side Story is primed for a successful run. Memorable songs like “I Feel Pretty” and “Tonight” will warm the hearts of the audience while “America” will get their toes tapping. This love story, rooted in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, will draw you in with its timeless concepts of forbidden love and a desire for acceptance. Considering the popularity of past musical performances at the Rep, like last season’s In the Heights, don’t wait too long to get your tickets! (Susan Harpt Grimes)
“StorySlam: Reunion” (noncompetitive) EX FABULA @ THE COOPERAGE Sept. 18
Vanya OFF THE WALL THEATRE Sept. 18-29
This adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya opens one of Off the Wall’s purposefully unusual seasons. Chekhov’s tragicomedy is reworked here with an original script and direction by Dale Gutzman. “We have taken four different scripts and four different translations to make a new version,” he says. “If you have ever longed for the love of another person to give your life meaning, then Vanya is the play for you to cherish.” (Jean-Gabriel Fernandez)
The Feast QUASIMONDO PHYSICAL THEATRE Sept. 20-Oct. 5, North Milwaukee Arthaus
Founding ensemble member, writer, actor and master puppeteer Andrew Parchman writes and directs what he’s calling a “preternatural popcorn thriller.” An America at war with Russia in the not-too-distant future provides the setting for this action-packed, puppet-gorged tale of conspiracy and horror. The always theatrically adventurous Quasimondo company’s new home, an historic—and almost Lovecraftian—former village hall and fire station in the North Milwaukee neighborhood, is itself an adventure worth experiencing. (John Schneider)
Fires in the Mirror: Crown Heights, Brooklyn and Other Identities MILWAUKEE CHAMBER THEATRE Sept. 20-Oct. 13, Broadway Theater Complex
Based on a true story, playwright Anna Deavere Smith brings her documentary-style theater to the 1991 tragedy of the killing of a nine-year old black boy when a car jumps a curb. The driver is Hasidic and shortly after, a rabbinical student is stabbed to death in what appears to be an act of retribution. The case sparked riots and headlines. Marti Gobel and Elyse Edelman play 26 roles from politicians to victims in this gripping drama. (Harry Cherkinian)

This “female-powered comedy” follows around four women who do their best to stay afloat during the French Revolution. A playwright, assassin, Haitian rebel and former queen Marie-Antoinette hang out in 1793 Paris. Laura Gordon directs the talented cast. “Packed with the zany ebullience that Lauren Gunderson writes so well, this grand comic adventure is about art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how women will actually go about changing the world,” Next Act Theatre says.

Award winning playwright Sam Shepard’s rarely performed post-9/11 piece was written based on the government’s response to the tragedy. Shepard once again serves up a dark comedy. Emma and Frank, farmers in the Wisconsin heartland, take in their friend, Haynes.

Sept. 7, Helene Zelazo Center
“More variety, less boundaries,” says Eric Segnitz, describing the program of his first concert as Present Music’s co-artistic director. The idea behind “Re:re:rewrite” is “remaking exciting work in new ways. ‘New wine in old bottles’ is the phrase tossed around,” adds co-artistic director David Bloom. The performance will include Steve Reich’s “Radio Rewrite” (based on Radiohead songs), Gyorgy Ligetti’s “Car Horn Prelude” (“11 car horns—that’ll be a riot!” says Bloom) and an ensemble arrangement for Caleb Burhans’ piece originally written for solo saxophone, “Escape Wisconsin.” (David Luhrssen)

Milwaukee painter and printmaker Jan Serr has exhibited internationally for decades. This is her first solo show as a photographer. Her landscapes, portraits and still lifes of India were taken with a painter’s eye for color and composition. Serr founded The Warehouse at 1635 W. St. Paul Ave with her husband John Shannon. They’ve presented wonderful works by Milwaukee visual and performing artists and from their own collection and now, excitingly, from Serr’s own hand. (John Schneider)
Born Erik Weisz, Harry Houdini (1874-1926) grew up in Appleton. The rabbi’s son became the world’s greatest illusionist and escape artist. He freed himself from handcuffs, locked trunks—even a strait jacket under water. No cell could hold him for long. Curated by magician David London, “Inescapable” explores the magic, the technology and the marketing that turned Houdini into one of the most publicized figures of his era. (David Luhrssen)
“Tom Uttech: Into the Woods” MUSEUM OF WISCONSIN ART Sept. 28-Jan. 12

In Part Two, playwright Lucas Hnath has crafted a sequel where Nora shows up 15 years later. But the question is: “Why?” There is plenty of recrimination to share—the second time around.

The play and screenplay for the movie were both written by Alan Sorkin who was just starting out when he jotted down his ideas, on cocktail napkins, for a script based on a real-life case where military lawyers are sent to investigate a “Code Red.” If you think you can “handle the truth,” be sure to check out this show.

Is a painting bought in a thrift store actually a lost masterpiece worth millions? That’s what Maude, a foul-mouthed ex-bartender believes; when a prim art expert comes to her trailer park to evaluate the piece, a battle erupts over class, truth and the meaning of art. According to Boulevard Theatre’s artistic director March Bucher, this enhanced concert reading of Stephen Sachs’ “ARTrageous” comedy is an “indictment of art,
art criticism and the value of art.” (Jean-Gabriel Fernandez)

The late 19th century is brought back with relevance and fervor with a storyline jogging intrigue. Into the era’s social norms, which sought to silence human nature, comes the invention of vibrators and an exploration of women’s sexuality. The feminine mystique underlies this saga, plotting mystery and secrecy in this 2009 play by Sarah Ruhl. (Genevieve Vahl)

Founded in 2018 by Producing Artistic Director Kira Renkas, Aura describes itself as dedicated to bringing together diverse audiences by telling stories of human emotion and experience, “reminding us what it is to care.” Shakespeare’s late problem play is a timely choice: the drama involves the abuse of a woman by a man in power. Jaimelyn Gray, the experienced founding artistic director of The Constructivists, another new theatre focused on relevant, no-holdsbarred theatre, will direct. (John Schneider)
Racine famous: Kringle Part II picks up with the Yopannsan clan heading west of I-94 to Union Grove.

You start a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything worth living for. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling.” Every Brilliant Thing stars Jack Sherman and will be Outskirts’ first full production in their new home. It’s part of their goal of bringing “poignant, important, professional work to Waukesha County.” (Genevieve Vahl)

In a remote Israeli desert town where nothing changes from day to day, a group of lost Egyptian musicians show up at the local cafe. Dina, the cafe’s owners and the locals, take the band in for the night. As they share their stories and lives, this once sleepy town awakens to the sounds of romance—and life again. Winner of 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical. (Harry Cherkinian)

“Growing up in Wisconsin,” dance theatre artist Jenni Reinke said, “I’d heard much about Frank Lloyd Wright and his buildings, but nothing of the women who influenced his work and were influential in their own right. Out of this void, Mrs. Wrights was born. I use my body to make visible women whose histories have been overshadowed by the tower of male ‘genius.’ I want to upend the construct of ‘the woman behind the man.’” (John Schneider)
/ˌmaskəˈrād/ (World Premiere) ALLEN RUSSELL AND GINA LAURENZI DANCE PROJECT
Nov. 2, Danceworks Studio Theatre
Composer-violinist Allen Russell teams with choreographer Gina Laurenzi, who describes the work thus: “Oh, the masks we wear! Trapped amidst the false personas swarming the space, she sees the room for what it truly is— grotesque! The observer becomes the observed as actions and interactions cause the mask of this fantasy world to shift, to fall away. In quiet corners and between glances, a glimpse into each individual’s reality is revealed. It’s infectious...” (John Schneider)

New MSO Music Director Ken-David Masur conducts a program bookended by Ludwig van Beethoven; specifically, his First and Second Symphonies. The First made an immediate splash and changed the symphony genre forever; the Second, a work of cheer and sunlight, shows Beethoven’s increasing confidence and paves the way to the mighty Eroica to follow. In the middle is Robert Schumann’s Konzertstück in F Major for Four Horns and Orchestra—a special treat rarely performed and riddled with challenges for the entire horn section.
