TAP’s Natural Shocks Moves to Milwaukee

Next Act Theatre Company of Milwaukee will present Third Avenue PlayWorks’ (TAP) production of Natural Shocks by Lauren Gunderson as the finale to its 2020-21 season.

The play, directed by Michael Cotey and featuring Jennifer Vosters, was originally presented as part of TAP’s 2021 PlayWorks reading series. Cotey experimented with using video from an iPhone, and the performance was recorded in Vosters’ basement, replicating the play’s location. Each working remotely, they created a fascinating piece of virtual theater.

Natural Shocks will be streamed May 24 – June 13. The ticket price of $30 allows unlimited viewing during those dates. To learn more and buy tickets, visit NextAct.org or call 414.278.0765.

TAP’s next PlayWorks 2021 reading – on May 21, 7 pm – will be Molly Sweeney, written by Brian Friel and directed by Robert Boles. Special guest Mike Fischer, former Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel arts critic, will join the cast and director for a live talkback immediately following the reading.

The reading is free, but donations are appreciated. Register for tickets at ThirdAvenuePlayhouse.com.
