Keeping busy!

I’ll admit, I’m not the best blogger, but that doesn’t mean I’m not doing anything.
A Kickstarter project, for Murders & Acquisitions has just launched. It’s a tabletop RPG, and it’s a lot of fun.

I did the video, and you can see it here!

Optimist Theatre continues its efforts in presenting Shakespeare in the Park free to Milwaukee audiences. We celebrated Shakespeare’s 452nd Birthday with a fundraiser. A cast announcement is coming soon for this summer’s production of Julius Caesar.

In Milwaukee Panther Arena news, the Milwaukee Admirals will be moving from the Bradley Center to the Arena this fall. Lots of prep work and an increased schedule for their season this fall!

The Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony was April 30th, honoring Jerry Kramer, Bo Ryan, Herb Kohl, and Donald Driver.

Finally, St. Thomas Aquinas Academy will be having a fundraiser on May 14th, and the video for that event (also to be repurposed for marketing) is nearly done. No link yet, but pending approval.

Shakespeare in the Park: Free to See, Not Free to Produce

Give Us Your Hands If We Be Friends….

Most of you know now that I am a staunch supporter of free Shakespeare in the Park in Milwaukee, including fundraising.

Today, 4/16, at noon, we are launching an online auction to benefit the production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This is part of the final fundraising stretch (about 70% of the budget has been raised), and will be part of determining whether the show happens.

If you can, please be generous (Milwaukee fans of the PBS Great TV Auction will not be strangers to the concept of Overbids…). If you can’t right now, please spread the word. We have some great items, and new ones will be added over the next two weeks. Not everything is theatre or arts related, so if you see something that a friend may like, pass it along!
