Seven Keys to Slaughter Peak
by Joseph Hanreddy. Based on the novel by Earl Derr Biggers and the play by George M. Cohan
March 23 - April 18
Quadracci Powerhouse Theater

imageOn a stormy winter night, a brash pulp-fiction novelist holes himself up in a deserted Wisconsin summer resort to win a bet. He has wagered that he can write a best-seller in 24 hours, and Slaughter Peak Lodge is the perfect place to get his creative juices flowing. Best of all, he’s got the only key – or so he thinks. It’s not long before his night of perfect solitude unravels into a tangled web of criminal conspiracy, romance, intrigue, and murder that could have come straight from one of his novels! Fact and fiction dissolve into delicious mayhem and hilarity in Joe Hanreddy’s grand finale as Artistic Director. Based on (and formerly titled) Seven Keys to Baldpate, this delightful comic caper features The Rep’s Resident Acting Company.

Prospect Cafe Renovation - Early 6pm Close Times Beginning 3/4/10

imagePardon our dust!
Alterra Prospect is undergoing some exciting changes in the months to come, including an expanded seating area, an “outdoor room” and the same great food menu that’s available at our other locations. Some of the minor construction work has already started, and we’ll be in full swing beginning Thursday, March 4th, 2010 at which point the café will be closing nightly at 6pm. We expect the renovation process to last about 4 months and hope that you’ll continue to visit Kate and her crew during the day and our other cafes at night. Looking forward to a new-and-improved Prospect Avenue café later this year! (Check out renderings of the new facility below.)

March 3 - 28
Stiemke Theater

image“A dynamic and surprisingly humorous play about a successful real estate developer and the challenges he faces when he sets his sights on becoming the city’s first black mayor. Supporting his efforts are his wife, an ambitious public relations executive, and his business partner, a Tiger Woods fanatic (who gets involved in a radio station scheme). But when he’s about to demolish the decaying home of the legendary Aunt Esther, secrets are revealed that could be his undoing. This is the Tony Award-nominated finale of August Wilson’s unprecedented ten-play cycle chronicling African-American life in the 20th century.”

Almost Maine
John Cariani
Stiemke Theater

image“On a cold, clear, winter night, the northern lights hover over the remote town of Almost, Maine. All is not quite what it seems as the town’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in hilariously unexpected, and often unusual ways. This enchanting midwinter night’s dream touches audiences with laughter, heartbreak and hope.” (from the Milwaukee Rep website)
