FROM THE HEART: THE LOVE STORIES There’s no business like show business. For many artists, their love of the arts consumes OF MILWAUKEE their lives… sometimes even including their love THEATRE lives! We sat down with some of our favorite By Ryan Albrechtson local artist couples to talk about what it really takes to keep the romance alive while both building a career in the performing arts.

“Chris and I met when I moved to Milwaukee from Detroit following my graduation from Wayne State University with a degree in Stage Management,” said Jane. “He had just gotten back from a summer at the Utah Shakespeare Festival… I worked as a stage manager for FLIELLER a company called Theatre Tesseract. Rehearsals started two weeks after I moved here, and Chris was in the cast. We began dating before the show closed and we’ve been inseparable ever since.”

Jane and Chris’s love of this artform led to the birth of what would become a large staple in the Milwaukee theatre community: In Tandem Theatre. “We realized that we wanted to

Jane + Chris work together in our chosen industry, and that the only way to do so was to form our own company - hence, In Tandem Theatre was born,” said Jane, who ran the company with her husband for over two decades. And while the dynamic duo decided to take a step back after 21 seasons, they’ve found that the freed up nights and weekends have given them more down time to spend together.

“It was a showmance!” said Brenda. “We met onstage in a 2005 production of The Pirates of Penzance at the Moonlight Amphitheatre in Southern California.” DODGE Brenda and Randall opened Forte Theatre, a professional company based in Franklin. Their inaugural production, Miracle on 34th Street, ran this past December.

“The advantage of creating a theatre company together is that we wake up every day working side by side towards the same goal. The challenge is that we wake up every day working side by side towards the same goal,” said Brenda. “All kidding aside, it’s pretty

Brenda + Randall incredible to share the same vision and be in the trenches every day with your partner, colleague and best friend.“

The couple, and their new company, are quite the ambitious force. Currently, they are campaigning to purchase and renovate a historic hardware store in Franklin to turn into a new theatre space. milwaukee FOOTNOTES ”The advantages of being a theatre couple are that you have someone who truly understands what it is like...” - MARCEE DOHERTY-ELST -

“We actually met doing a show,” said Marcee, who met Christopher in 2008. “We were both in You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. ELST Christopher played Charlie Brown and I played Lucy!” Although they developed a friendship during the process, it wasn’t until after the show had closed that they began to date.

Their passion for theatre went to the next level in 2013, when the couple opened their own theatre company: Theater RED. And while they’ve worked together on many shows with the company, and with other groups, being + Christopher in the arts means that their schedules don’t always align. “Being a theatre couple mostly means not seeing each other all that often,” said Christopher. “The good news is we both understand a theatre schedule, so we’re not as put out as the average person might be when a production bites a month or two out of the standard social schedule.”

“The advantages of being a theatre couple are that you have someone who truly understands what it is like to audition, rehearse, perform and all the nerves, ups, and

DOHERTY-ELST downs that go along with it,” said Marcee. “Christopher knows what it is like for me to go into an audition, nerves aplenty, and either walk out feeling great or walk out wanting to bury my head in the sand. Christopher knows the stress, exhaustion, and joy of tech week. Christopher knows the joy of getting a role you really want and the

Marcee disappointment of not.”

“We met on the National tour of the show Evita,” said Susan. We became friends right away, but didn’t start dating until the tour ended.” VARELA Susan and Andrew, after establishing themselves in New York, decided to make Milwaukee their new home. Both have performed with many local groups, and they’ve had the chance to work together on several projects, including Sweeney Todd and Les Miserables at Skylight Music Theatre.

“It can be challenging when a gig takes us away for weeks, or months,” said Susan. “But we have a ‘three week rule’ - we can’t go longer than that without seeing each other, no Susan + Andrew matter what. Even if it’s only for 24 hours!”

That commitment to their art, and to each other, has helped them find a successful work/ life balance. “We feel grateful to be in the same business, because we understand the requirements, schedule and commitment inherent in this life,” said Susan. milwaukee FOOTNOTES

“We met 36 years ago in San Francisco, while I was touring with “MASTER HAROLD” … and the boys,” said Michael. “Ray was in the audience on our opening night there and we met at this very fancy JIVOFF dinner afterward.”

Both Michael and Ray have had impressive performing careers,

+ Ray as well as taking on the hats of Artistic Directors. Ray served as Artistic Director of Skylight Music Theatre until last season, and Michael is currently in his last season as Artistic Director of Milwaukee Chamber Theatre. WRIGHT “One of the greatest advantages is that we both understand the crazy highs and lows of a life in the theatre,” said Michael. “There can certainly be a lot of joy and fulfillment, but there can also be a lot of instability and stress. It’s a regular roller coaster. The greatest challenge is trying to find enough quality time together while we’re both dealing with the long days and erratic hours.” C. Michael

With retirement on the horizon, the two look ahead to what other projects may arise. “It would be fun to act in something together. We haven’t done that since Guys and Dolls at Skylight back in 1997,” said Michael. “How about a gay Odd Couple?”

“It would be fun to act in something together...... How about a gay Odd Couple?” - C. MICHAEL WRIGHT -

We met as performers in Malt Shop Memories, a jukebox musical written by a local artist,” said Jes. Since then, the pair have worked on a variety of shows and projects together. Their creative personalities led them to founding the Sudbrink Performance Academy in 2015, a Waukesha based organization that offers SUDBRINK classes and produces shows for youth performers.

The couple also run the Main Street Song and Dance Troupe, another youth arts organization. With all of these intertwined artistic endeavours, they’ve found there can be good and bad moments. “It makes planning a show much easier. We can have more discussion about vision and other things more often to keep the creative Jes + Jacob team on the same page,” said Jacob. “Challenges come from being able to meet more often - especially if vision or ideas don’t align. If you’re not careful, that disagreement can carry into other parts of life.”

“Working on a show together has advantages because we can stay up late at night in front of the fireplace, planning in the comfort of our home,” added Jes. “We are often able to discuss a lot of the vision and intentions in the evenings and mornings, so we can arrive on the same page to meetings and rehearsals.” milwaukee FOOTNOTES

“We met in 1999 during a Ten Minute Play Festival produced by Playwrights Studio Theatre at the Miramar Theater,” said Laura. “It was my first show in Milwaukee after interning at Milwaukee Rep, and Jonathan was already working regularly with many local companies. Although we weren’t in any of the same plays, there was an immediate connection and interest in each other.” WAINWRIGHT Both Laura and Jonathan have built solid careers in the Milwaukee theatre community. And while their work spreads wide across a variety of companies, some of their favorite projects are when they get to work together.

“On occasion, we get to act opposite each other,” said Laura. “As well as providing a + Jonathan chance to spend more time together, many of these moments acting with each other have been personal and professional highlights. Also, you have someone who you can

GRAY come home to who understands the job. A partner you can spitball ideas with, work through a challenge, speak the same language. An ally who knows the ins and outs of the process and the highs and lows of the profession.” Laura

“Jim and I met when we worked on Exonerated, the inaugural production of Next Act’s new space,” said Tami. “Jim played a cop who interrogated my character, Sunny, who’s husband was wrongly accused and placed on death row.”

PICKERING “Prior to the start of rehearsals I reached out to Jim via email to tell him how nice it will be to work together. He responded back with a list of rules of when I was allowed to speak to him, which was not before noon, and a number of other star requirements. I had no idea he was + Jim pulling my leg!”

The two of them have a long list of theatrical roles under their belts, many of which have been shared together. Most recently, the duo was seen in Milwaukee Rep’s A Christmas Carol. “Its nice to have a shared experience especially during the hustle and bustle of the holidays,” said Tami. “It feels like we truly experience the fullness of the season as we WORKENTIN prance around in our Dickensian costumes like moving Christmas cards. I look across the rehearsal hall and see him kicking up his heels in the Fezziwig dance, then getting

Tami really frustrated with himself and his momentary two left feet, and it makes me giggle.”

“He responded back with a list of rules of when I was allowed to speak to him, which was not before noon...” - TAMI WORKENTIN - We lost the child we knew. Now we’ve found her again. We will

The Legend of Georgia McBride - 7 MILWAUKEE REPERTORY THEATER #EclipsedMKE @milwrep MARCH 3 MARCH 29, 2020 | QUADRACCI POWERHOUSE A Chilling Portrait of War and Sisterhood Nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Play

By Danai Gurira | Directed by May Adrales Written by actress-playwright Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead) comes a stunning tale of hope and resilience set in the midst of the Liberian Civil War. Five extraordinary women, who have formed an unlikely sisterhood, struggle to negotiate power, protection and peace as they try to survive. Nominated for six Tony Awards, including Best Play, Eclipsed has been called “rare and powerful” by The New York Times and “a must-see production” by New York Magazine.

Executive Producers: Sponsored in part by: Jackie Herd-Barber & Michael Barber Associate Producers: Judy Hansen Catherine & Buddy Robinson 8 www.MilwaukeeRep.com- The Legend of Georgia McBride | 414-224-9490 A NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Oscar Wilde said, “I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” The Legend of Georgia McBride has been on our radar for a few years now, and this season finally felt like the right time to bring it to our audiences. It may appear on the surface to be a mainstream comedy but you’ll find it reaches much further, touching both hearts and minds without being didactic or sentimental. As Wilde eluded to, it is a piece that allows us to see and share what it means to be human. It is about acceptance—of others and our true selves—something we all need to be better at and strive towards, especially at a time when our country seems to be so polarized, and our own communities are becoming more divided.

Milwaukee Rep aims to produce work that allows us to explore stories and gain experiences outside of our day-to-day. When I go to the theater, more often than not, I want to be taken on a journey, where I can experience lives different from my own—and hopefully ones that I can find more commonality in than expected. Good theater should take us to places we would never expect to go. It allows us to experience the lives of others and, in turn, relate those experiences to our own and enhance our view of the world. Georgia McBride offers the opportunity to do all of that—with a lot of laughter, music, and hopefully some dancing in the aisles.

We are delighted to be producing another work by the immensely talented playwright Matthew Lopez; his powerful piece, The Whipping Man, was produced in the Stiemke Studio during our 2013/14 Season. His new work, The Inheritance, has been the rave critical success of 2019, in both London and New York.

Georgia McBride was written to be a celebratory piece, one full of joy, catharsis, and redemption and as we leave one decade behind, and head into another, I hope this play offers you a heartfelt start.

Whether this is your first show ever at Milwaukee Rep, or you’re a long-time Subscriber, we welcome you all and thank you. We hope you have as much fun watching this piece as the cast and creative team had in making it. And we look forward to bringing you more powerful, engaging work during the rest of the 2019/20 Season—with an exciting 2020/21 Season soon to come!

Happy New Year! Mark Clements
