Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley
July 10, 2023
The House by the Stable
C.S. Lewis remarked that his friend Charles Williams wrote the sort of stories “in which we begin by saying, let us suppose that this everyday world were at some point invaded by the marvelous.” The House by the Stable dramatizes the struggle of good and evil, personifying the forces that grapple for an upper hand—including Man, Pride, Gabriel and Hell—and the God who humbles them all. Enter a truthful and comedic fantasy, told by a 20th century master of the genre.

The Agitators
Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony were friends — and adversaries — for forty-five years. From their beginning in Rochester, through a civil war, and to the highest halls of government, The Agitators depicts their individual and interpersonal commitments to justice, their support of each other, and the disagreements that nearly destroyed their relationship. “Theater at its best. Teaching us, challenging us, reminding us of where we’ve been, where we are and how far we still have to go.” – Cedar Rapids Gazette

Holmes And Watson
September 15, 2022
By Jeffrey Hatcher
Directed by Elaine Wyler
June 9 – June 25, 2023
If you think there aren’t any new stories about Sherlock Holmes, think again! The great detective did go over the falls at Reichenbach with his nemesis Professor Moriarty. But Holmes’ body was never retrieved, and so it is no surprise when a telegram arrives informing Watson that three men, each claiming to be the famous sleuth, have been committed to a remote asylum. Now Watson must discover if one of the mad men is the real Sherlock Holmes. “A truly smashing play full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.” –TalkinBroadway.com

We Will Not Be Silent
By David Meyers
March 10 – March 26, 2023
February 18th, 1943. 21-year-old Sophie Scholl is arrested for her involvement in the
White Rose, a non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. David Meyers’ play
recreates the interrogation that tests all she believes. “There [is] nothing to do. Hitler
cannot be stopped,” Scholl’s interrogator states. “Only because Germany is made of
men like you,” she replies. We Will Not Be Silent is a stunning testimony of faith and a
historical account with new urgency for this moment.

The Jeweler’s Shop
“The One we seek by chance has the face of the love which already entangles our existence. They are all in Him.” Andrew and Teresa’s encounter at a jeweler’s shop expands into a poetic and generational drama with entrancing atmosphere, meditating on the ways we look for God in one another. Written by Karol Wojtyla, who co-founded the cultural resistance movement Rhapsodic Theatre and later became Pope John Paul II, The Jeweler’s Shop is a play for anyone who seeks love – new, old and young.

Last Train to Nibroc
January 14, 2022
Performing at the Norvell Commons of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church | 7845 N. River Rd. | Milwaukee, WI 53217
“We’re all changing. We’re all riding this country’s future like this train’s a’rolling along the track, just hoping we get somewhere and don’t run off the tracks somewhere along the way.” December 28, 1940. Raleigh, an officer on medical discharge, first meets May, an aspiring missionary, on a cross-country train, although they live only miles apart in Kentucky. In three scenes over three years, they laugh, relate, misunderstand, clash and observe what’s happening in the world and each other. Last Train to Nibroc is a timely love story that “weave[s] the epic and the incidental with the lightest and least obtrusive thread.” Ginia Bellafante, New York Times. Subscription and single tickets already purchased for An Inspector Calls can be applied to this production.

Performed at The Norvell Commons of St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church | 7845 North River Road | Milwaukee, WI 53217
Described as Agatha Christie meets “The Twilight Zone,” Priestley’s masterpiece holds the same powerful relevance as when it premiered. On the eve of an engagement and potential merger, a wealthy industrial family is visited by an Inspector. A young woman has died, and the Inspector’s unsparing and suspenseful interrogation leads him to observe that “We don’t live alone. We are members of one body.” Content warning: this play includes mentions of suicide and disproven views of mental health, guilt and blame.
