Not Dead Yet
“A clever, deceptively light comedy.”
[ Includes review of Not Dead Yet ]
— Russ Bickerstaff / The Small Stage
“It makes the Brumder Mansion not only the setting of the play but also its own character.”
[ Includes review of Not Dead Yet ]
— Jean-Gabriel Fernandez
“There is a lot of smart dialogue as well as clever references and physical humor. Plus, being set in the Brumder Mansion gives the show added appeal.”
[ Includes review of Not Dead Yet ]
— Marilyn Jozqik / Wisconsin Theater Spotlight
“ Not Dead Yet! is what you’d get if you took a game of Clue and threw it in a blender. All of the right elements are there”
[ Includes review of Not Dead Yet ]
— Kimberly Laberge / The Drama Den
Written by Andrew Peterson • Directed by Robert A Zimmerman
Join us in witnessing the disastrously unsuccessful efforts of a buffoonish, egocentric director to stage a murder-mystery play at the Brumder Mansion. It is quirky, dark and absurd. We’d tell you ahead of time the name of the famous director who’s coming to The Brumder Mansion – but we’d have to kill you. Trust us – you’ve heard of him. You’ve stood in line to see his movies. You’ve seen them on Netflix… Some of you have probably even pirated them on the torrents (don’t worry – we won’t tell). And now he’s coming here. To Milwaukee. To take you behind the scenes of his next artistic sensation: Not Dead Yet. Don’t miss it.
If you see only ONE absurd murder-mystery play at the Brumder Mansion this June, see NOT DEAD YET.

Amber is excited to work on her first production at the Brumder Mansion. Mother of four kids, whose names all start with D, Amber is usually busy driving people places and finding things for others but loves when she finds an opportunity to work in theatre. She appreciates her family’s support and excitement surrounding her work. She has recently been seen working with Bard and Bourbon in their productions of Julius Caesar, Richard III and The Merry Wives of Windsor. She has also worked at Sunset Playhouse and Soulstice Theatre. A big thank you to her husband for all of his love and support.

Chris is grateful to be returning to the MEG stage for the third time, following Twas the Night Before Christmas (Boris) in 2016 and Art (Yvan) in 2017. Favorite recent Milwaukee credits include Antony Wilding in Enchanted April at Windfall Theatre, Danny Shapiro in Sexual Perversity in Chicago at Alchemist Theatre (RIP), and Fireclown Ensemble in Celsius 232 with Quasimondo and Cooperative Performance. Look for Chris next in The Comedy of Romeo and Juliet…Kinda Sorta with Schmitz n’ Giggles and Alabama Story with Seat Of Our Pants Readers Theatre. Thanks to everyone for coming out to see such a delightfully absurd piece of original work!

Rip Butler is pleased and thrilled to be making his stage debut at The Brumder Mansion. Ever since his birth in a Vietnamese sweatshop he has dreamed of theatre footlights and the stage. At a young age he stowed away in a container ship, braving violent storms in the Pacific and corrupt customs officials so that he could be enthusiastically flopped around by total strangers and make them giggle and smile. Now that he’s poised on the brink of stardom, he asks only that Brittany not bite his toes anymore, and that Dennis not manhandle his legs quite so much. Finally, he hopes that he serves as an inspiration to floppy manservants everywhere.

This chick has been around, dude. Born in the Bronx, Stone Cold Arajohn, the daughter of a traveling abacus salesman, spent her formative years in Manchester, England, on a small farm studying agriculture and music as a member of an isolated hippie commune. After sneaking out to the public library to use the internet for the very first time, she met her partner Adolf on Twitter. He told her to run away and meet him in St. Louis where they then traveled together to make it very small in L.A. and then hitchhiked to Milwaukee for this table read.
