Coming soon: In Tandem Theatre's "The Nightmare Room"
There aren't many suspense and mystery writers better than Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and seeking a thriller to start its 15th season, In Tandem Theatre has turned to the master.
The play is "The Nightmare Room," adapted from the short story of the same name by highly regarded English playwright John Goodrum, who has built a career creating mysterious plays full of terror and suspense.
"The Nightmare Room" is about two women, best friends since childhood, who fall for the same man, a dashing former movie star. The play is dark and twisted and builds slowly to a stunning climax.
In Tandem is the baby of Chris and Jane Flieller, who have nurtured its steady growth while producing some memorable performances. They are widely known for their annual Cudahy Caroler Christmas, a hilarious romp through the holiday season.
"The Nightmare Room" features one of Milwaukee's favorite young actors, Libby Amato, who has worked with many groups around town. She has a delicate fawning beauty that brings wonderful sensibility to any role she plays. She will be joined in "The Nighmare Room" by Mary C. McLellan.
Tickets are available at the Tenth Street Theatre box office at (414) 271-1371.

Woods lacks the right stuff to be a hero
Published June 18, 2013
If it wasn't for television I might still think that Tiger Woods is a hero. Instead, after watching yet another in a long line of protected, robotic, distant, unresponsive, unfriendly displays, I have come to the conclusion, at long last, that this guy is about the furthest thing you can get from being a hero.

How would we react if Braun were suspended?
Published June 11, 2013
I'm a guy who always tries to be ready for bad news. I'm not a pessimist, but I've been around long enough to know that bad things happen to good people. So lets try to prepare for the inevitable with Ryan Braun. We can't control everything but we can lay plans for how we will react.
Guitar man
Published June 6, 2013
My dream is that I am sitting on a stage, guitar in hand, people in the audience, and for an hour or two I semi-dazzle them with song. Nobody else on stage, just me and my guitar. I've been onstage many times in my life. Plays and a band. But all alone? Never. It has never been just me. That's my dream, and I'm going to make it happen the night before my 70th birthday - Jan. 11, 2014.
Time to trade Ryan Braun?
Published June 4, 2013
The failures of the last year and a half and lack of talent coming up from the minor leagues may indicate it's time for the Milwaukee Brewers to trade Ryan Braun.
A cautionary tale
Published May 30, 2013
Think of this as Dear Abby for a generation where it actually applies not just to a broken heart that wrote in for advice. I am not really an advice-giver but I've been so moved recently that I can't help offering my reaction to the last couple of months as a word of caution: take care of yourself.
A fine nine: A dream soccer team
Published May 28, 2013
Watching European soccer got me thinking - what if some of America's great athletes (and one very special actor) played soccer? It would be an amazing team. So amazing, I'd only need nine guys to win.
Roenicke's future with Brewers may be determined soon
Published May 21, 2013
When a team is as bad as the Milwaukee Brewers have been, you kind of just hold your breath, waiting for somebody with authority to lose patience with the whole thing and start chopping. And, as we all know, the normal first head on the chopping block belongs to the manager.
The weapons of war
Published May 16, 2013
For decades Milwaukee has been a whipping boy for all those state legislators who aren't from Milwaukee. We need to find a way to fight back, something that will scare the crap out of some Republican from Bonduel or Abbotsford or even Mequon. Here are Dave Begel's weapons of war...
What I miss the most
Published May 15, 2013
I have been kind of out of commission for more than 40 days with a health difficulty and it's been a real long haul. I think I'm in the final couple of weeks before I get to go home, but lately I've been thinking a lot about what things I miss the most.
