SUMMARY:Dracula\, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy. Really.
DESCRIPTION:Dracula\, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy. Really. \nWritten By Kate Hamill\nDirected By Hannah Nies \nBouncing between horror and humor\, Kate Hamill’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel is a thrilling play that questions who the true monsters are. Fierce\, feminist\, frightening. “When your survival is at stake… will you be able to distinguish the monster from the man? Both terrifying and riotous\, Kate Hamill’s imaginative\, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen—exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart\, disquieting\, darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires—driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity.” \nPerformed on the Bartelll Theater’s Evjue Stage \nUpcoming Performances\nThu\, Oct 16th – 7:30pm\nFri\, Oct 17th – 7:30pm\nSat\, Oct 18th – 7:30pm\nSun\, Oct 19th – 1:30pm\nThu\, Oct 23rd – 7:30pm\nFri\, Oct 24th – 7:30pm\nSat\, Oct 25th – 7:30pm\nSun\, Oct 26th – 1:30pm\nThu\, Oct 30th – 7:30pm\nFri\, Oct 31st – 7:30pm\nSat\, Nov 1st – 1:30pm

SUMMARY:Fish for the Future Display at the State Capitol
DESCRIPTION:On July 12\, 2025\, we made history.\nAt the Urban Ecology Center in Milwaukee\, a stunning 86\,262 origami fish came together to form the largest display of origami fish ever created — a world record! Each fish carried a message of hope and determination: shut down Line 5 and protect our Great Lakes. \nNow\, this incredible wave of color and community is swimming to the Wisconsin Capitol. Soon\, our state’s most powerful decision-makers will see just how big\, bold\, and united the call to shut down Line 5 has become. The fish are on the move — and so is this movement.

SUMMARY:Oakwood Chamber Players Fall Concert: Musical Mystique
DESCRIPTION:The Oakwood Chamber Players usher in a hint of mystery and macabre with performances at Oakwood Villages Prairie Ridge (5565 Tancho Drive) on Friday\, October 24\, and University Woods (6205 Mineral Point Road) on Saturday\, October 25\, both at 7 p.m.\, followed by a 2 p.m. matinee at Arts + Literature Laboratory on Sunday\, October 26 (111 South Livingston Street). \nThe ensemble’s swath of strings\, winds\, and piano will present an array of impish and dramatic musical delights\, linked together by the spirited and mischievous “Polka” by Alfred Schnittke (1934-1998). Piano Quartet in A minor by Gustav Mahler (1860-1911)\, a profound early work left unfinished\, included musical sketches that Schnittke attempted to complete and quoted in his own later work. Fellow Russian Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)\, one of Schnittke’s primary musical influences\, wrote his powerfully moving String Quartet No. 3 amidst the climate of Stalinist cultural oppression. \nTwo living composers add further dimension to the lineup of 20th century heavy hitters\, Korine Fujiwara (“Artfully layered and knitted together…\,” The Wall Street Journal) and GRAMMY nominee Miguel del Aguila (“Vivacious rhythmic…inspired musicianship…\,” Latino Magazine\, Washington DC). Del Aguila’s “Tango Trio” taps into the Argentine-Uruguayan tango and Brazilian samba\, while Fujiwara’s “Out of the Depths” draws inspiration from sacred music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods. \nOakwood Chamber Players serve as the professional resident ensemble for the Oakwood Village senior living community. Artistic Directors Valree Casey (oboe/English horn)\, Amanda Szczys (bassoon)\, Marie Pauls (viola)\, Maggie Townsend (cello)\, and new associate member Stacy Regehr (piano) will be joined by guest violinists Leanne Kelso and Holly Wagner. \nTickets are $25 general admission\, $20 seniors\, and $5 for students. Run time\, 75 minutes\, no intermission. For more information and advance ticket sales\, visit oakwoodchamberplayers.com.
