More in November

COVID continues as the Milwaukee theatre season continues to carve its way towards what would have been a busy November under normal conditions. There are a few more shows coming up in the days and weeks to come.

Cooperative Performance Milwaukee launches an original work online this month that’s been devised and directed by Daniel Burkholder and Kimani Fowlin. Emodied Truth: Finding Ways to Move Together explores the nature of parenting through the lenses of gender and race in an online video dance that also features spoken word and storytelling. The show runs as a pre-produced video-on-demand that can be streamed via Vimeo. The show is available from November 13 - February 7th. The show was originally presented in Spring of last year during a one-week residency at the Kenilworth East Gallery. There’s background on the show and a 2.5 minute preview video available on Burkholder’s website. For more information on access to the show, visit Cooperative Performance online. 

The Skylight Music Theatre opens its live staging of Ashman and Menken’s planty apocalyptic horror musical comedy just in time for the pandemic. Audience members will gently settled into a socially-distanced Cabot theatre to watch the whimsical end of all humanity to out botanical extra-terrestrial overlords. Yeah...I mean...there’s a story of romance in there, but the ending of the musical is particularly poignant in the current climate. As the above graphic states, the show runs Nov. 13-Dec. 27.
