GREASE Student and Group Matinee @ Wendy Joy Lindsey Theater
Apr 27 @ 9:00 am
It’s 1959, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be provocative and rebellious.

This performance features the BLUE Cast.

Tickets for Schools and other groups are available exclusively through our Group Sales office. E-mail us or call 414.290.7454 for details!

AMERICAN SPRING @ Black Box Theater
Aug 12 @ 7:00 pm
AMERICAN SPRING @ Black Box Theater | Milwaukee | Wisconsin | United States

Is history ever spent repeating itself? What does it mean to be an American? These are just a couple of questions that this new opera, composed by Pius XI alum Sam Mullooly, attempts to address. The opera is set in April 1865, the final month of the American Civil War, which was a particularly triumphant yet ruinous month in American history. With the words written by Sam’s father, Tom Mullooly, American Spring is a combination of historical retelling, personal drama, and modern political allegory. The premiere of this opera will be performed in our Black Box Theater as a staged reading on August 12th and 13th.
