::Midwest Premiere:: By Jeffrey Hatcher Directed by Joseph Hanreddy August 30 – September 25, 2011 Quadracci Powerhouse

A lush new comedy that peeks into the private lives of the most public of figures. Theater legends Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne welcomed the titans of Broadway and Hollywood – including Noël Coward, Katharine Hepburn and Laurence Olivier – to their secluded Genesee Depot, Wisconsin, retreat. When a young starlet arrives to rehearse the Lunts’ latest production, she unwittingly ignites a romantic triangle that eclipses any on-stage drama. Rep favorite Jeffrey Hatcher (The Government Inspector, Work Song, The Turn of the Screw), has penned a sparkling, witty gem of a play that celebrates a Wisconsin treasure.

“Playwright Jeffrey Hatcher deserves some sort of reward for this delicious script…[it is] a tasty piece of theater.” -Arizona Daily Star

By Eric Simonson Based on the book When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi by David Maraniss Directed by Sanford Robbins October 11 – November 13, 2011 Quadracci Powerhouse

The legendary coach comes home to Wisconsin in this post-Broadway Regional Premiere Production featuring Resident Acting Company member Lee E. Ernst as the iconic Lombardi. Although football’s Super Bowl trophy is named for him, few know the real story of Lombardi the man – his inspirations, his passions and his ability to drive people to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Exploring his relationship with his wife, Marie, and three of his legendary players – Paul Hornung, Jim Taylor and Dave Robinson – this family-friendly tribute takes you into the life and times of one of America’s most inspirational and mercurial personalities.

“I know nothing about football, but Lombardi held my attention from start to finish . . . an extremely well-crafted piece of intelligent theater.” -The Wall Street Journal

Book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey Music by Tom Kitt Directed by Artistic Director Mark Clements December  6, 2011 –  January 15, 2012 Quadracci Powerhouse

This groundbreaking and award-winning musical explores how one suburban family copes with crisis. With powerful lyrics and an electrifying pop-rock score of more than 30 songs, this intense, emotional and ultimately hopeful musical aims right for the heart with its story of a family coming to terms with its past and bravely facing its future. The Rep is among the first regional theaters in the United States to produce the show following its long Broadway run and National Tour. The Milwaukee production features the dynamic creative team behind last season’s smash-hit musical, Cabaret.

“Brave and breathtaking. A work of muscular grace and power.” -The New York Times

By Harper Lee Adapted by Christopher Sergel Directed by Aaron Posner January 31 – March 4, 2012 Quadracci Powerhouse

One of the most beloved and beautifully compassionate stories ever written comes to breathtaking life on stage. Set in small-town Alabama during the Depression, and seen with brilliant clarity through the eyes of a young tomboy, this Pulitzer Prize-winning tale is about innocence, tolerance, family and the courage to live what you believe. The Rep will partner with leading community organizations, including the Milwaukee Public Library, to create a city-wide series of events and discussions around To Kill a Mockingbird, including dramatic readings, book and panel discussions, talkbacks with artists moderated by university scholars and additional special events.

“ A love story, pure and simple: love for the South, a father's love for his children and their love for him.” -Harper Lee

By William Shakespeare Directed by Artistic Director Mark Clements April 3 – May 6, 2012 Quadracci Powerhouse

One of Shakespeare’s most tragic heroes squares off against literature’s greatest villain in a visceral, sexy, hard-driving story of
intrigue, betrayal and vengeance, as Iago leads Othello to the edge of jealous madness by sewing seeds of doubt about his wife’s fidelity. Culminating in one of Shakespeare’s most powerfully dramatic scenes, this classic revenge tragedy comes to life in a modern and edgy adaptation set in the world of motorcycle gangs.
