As much as I seem to complain about the plays that I see at the Milwaukee Rep, I did renew my subscription for the upcoming season this fall. Of the nine plays that are listed, I recognize four of them, but have never seen any of them performed live. Naturally there is an odd mix of the classics and the new. For example, one theater ends their season with a Chekhov play, while the other more experimental one ends with a new play about boxing champion Joe Louis. I think that that fits the definition of variety. The last play of this season is scheduled at the beginning of May and I am looking forward to the break. Live theater is enjoyable to see, but with the warmer weather on the horizon, I would prefer to spend more of my free time outside.
