Join the Slowpoke Lounge & Cabaret for a performance by the Troubadours of Rhythm! Debuting in 2023, the Troubadours are a captivating journey through time, skillfully led by Milwaukee legend Jon Mroz. Drawing inspiration from the electrifying ambiance of the late 1920s and early 1930s South Side Chicago and North Side Milwaukee, this ensemble acts as a musical time machine, transporting listeners and dancers to an era of exuberance and innovation.
Join American Players Theatre for the opening night of The Two "Gentlemen" of Verona. Award-winning playwright Aaron Posner breathes new life into one of Shakespeare’s earliest comedies, and features music by composer and co-lyricist Greg Kotis. Dubbed "The Almost-Musical Hit of the Summer," this fresh adaptation walks up to the line of a musical and straps on a banjo, giving the production a heart-filling, Americana kick. The story follows childhood friends Proteus and Valentine as their relationships are tested and promises are broken when they both fall in love with Silvia in Milan. Complete with a live jug band, a couple of clowns, a group of outlaws, and one uncanny dog, it is a poetic, feel-good event where Shakespearean verse still rings from every stanza.
