Imagine five session of pure, joyous theatrical firepower: stakes so massive they once toppled kingdoms—genocide, gods, vengeance, ecstasy—now alive in your body and voice, completely safe and ridiculously fun.
You’ll learn how to drop sound into the soles of your heels and make a room shake or fall perfectly still, dissect razor-sharp modern translations of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes, and discover how to place 2,500-year-old words in a 2026 body so the stakes feel immediate, electric, and utterly human. Breath, resonance, mask, chorus, primal movement—every tool tuned to harness the biggest feelings on earth without ever breaking your instrument.
This isn’t scary. This is the most alive you’ll ever feel on a stage.

Five sessions of joyous, immersive exploration into Chekhov’s greatest scenes—from country estates and Russian summers to impossible hopes—suddenly feel like a Friday night in Bay View.
Each week, participants dive deeply into one of Chekhov’s iconic plays, unpacking the text with meticulous script analysis. You’ll mine the quiet strength, the subtle variations, and the seemingly minuscule moments that reveal a character’s inner life. This isn’t realism—it’s Chekhov’s high-impact theatricalism: moments that cut deep, balance heartbreak and hilarity, and expose the full spectrum of human desire, despair, and delight.
We will uncover Chekhov’s humor, even amid the pathos, and play with the emotional swings that make his work so profoundly alive. Scenes will be played full-out, with heart, precision, and joy—Milwaukee-style.
The experience culminates in a public presentation on March 30.
Come play. We’ve saved you a place.

February 23, March 2, 9, 16, 23
