“It’s all very small, intimate and well-executed. One of the first big returns to traditional indoor theatre in Milwaukee turns out to be a casual evening with nine characters. Conversation are had. People learn a bit more about each other. And everyone goes home.”

— Russ Bickerstaff / The Small Stage Blog

Coffee With Doug

This is Joe’s first time on stage with MEG. His most recent work has been with the Keitzman/Luchessi Project as Josef in THE FALL 1959 at the Milwaukee Fringe Fest & The Walkers Point Center for the Arts. Joe also appeared in LAYOVER, WAITING FOR GODOT, NIGHT WATCH and 40 CARATS with Village Playhouse. Now retired, his work prevented him from participating in theater for over twenty years. Joe would like to to thank his wife Kim, (often referred to as “My lovely wife, Helen”) for her patience & understanding as he reacquaints himself with the stage.

Thanks to family, friends, and YOU for supporting the arts. As always, never-ending love to the late Aric Fisher.
