"Maybe We'll Fly" Reading

Milwaukee Opera Theatre presents a developmental reading of Maybe We’ll Fly, a new play with music by Marie Kohler and Josh Schmidt with direction by Elizabeth Margolius about one woman’s unstoppable desire to make art. Maybe We’ll Fly is inspired by the life and work of Wisconsin outsider artist Mary Nohl (1914-2001), who built large, whimsical statues from cement and cast-off objects found around her lakeside home. The play explores what drives this artist’s aspiration to create, to delight and provoke her community . . . and to make her mark.
The January 16 and 17 performances of Maybe We'll Fly will take place at the Florentine Opera Center. All tickets are $20 and support the development of new work at MOT! The January 18 performance of Maybe We'll Fly will take place at the Art Preserve of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. Seating for this performance is extremely limited. If you'd like to be added to the waitlist, please email [email protected]. We'll do our best to squeeze you in.
