Milwaukee Chamber Theatre offers a fine fall "Picnic"
No one writes three-act plays in the digital age. But if Act 3 of William Inge's 1953 drama "Picnic" -- being staged by Milwaukee Chamber Theatre -- were eliminated, we would lose the meat of a play that is engaging but languid through two acts.

The awaited "Talley's Folley" opens Thursday
Milwaukee has amazing theater for a city this size. We support more professional companies than cities twice as big. Having said that, occasionally some theater stands just a little bit taller than the rest of the wonderful work in this town.

"Moonlight Room" waxes in style, wanes in substance
The Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's "The Moonlight Room" isn't a single, cohesive story so much as a series of related monologues that rely quite heavily on exposition to get from beginning to end.

Davis believes Wright choice suits Chamber Theatre
When Montgomery Davis announced that he was stepping down as Artistic Director of the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre after three decades, it was unclear who would fill his place. There was hardly a lack of interest in the position, but in the end, stage veteran C. Michael Wright was chosen.

This light but mildly provocative comedy has interesting three-dimensional characters and witty dialogue. David Lindsay-Abaire's "Kimberly Akimbo" plays like a pilot to a really good sitcom that never got produced.

MCT's collaborative Shaw Festival a major undertaking
"Back To Methuselah" -- which runs through Sun., May 6 -- is a most amusing and thought provoking work that quite fairly demonstrates Shaw's comic genius and his considerable reputation as an Irish savant. The work is being presented in two segments by the Chamber; one segment by Marquette University Department of Performing Arts; and another segment, a short presented by In Tandem.
