French Playwright Yasmina Reza is the author of one of the most performed plays in recent years, "Art," the enchanting story of a piece of all-white art and how it has an impact on the relationship of two friends.
It's been done several times in Milwaukee, most notably a few years ago by the late Cornerstone Theatre in what was – and remains – one of the top plays on stage in Milwaukee history.
Reza comes back now to Boulevard Theatre with a production of "Life (X)Three," her comedy that features a misbehaving 6-year-old who is never seen onstage.
It's a play about relationships and love and lust and rivals and struggling for attention and behaving in a manner not fitting for civilization. Sounds a lot like life, doesn't it?
The play is being directed by the steady and creative hand of Mark Bucher, who has ridden hard on Boulevard for 27 years, struggling against the odds to put on high-quality plays and give opportunity to new and emerging artists. If Milwaukee had a Mr. Theater award, he would be in the running.
"Life (X) Three" opens Friday, Sept. 21 and runs through Oct. 14. Tickets are available at (414) 744-5757.
With a history in Milwaukee stretching back decades, Dave tries to bring a unique perspective to his writing, whether it's sports, politics, theater or any other issue.
He's seen Milwaukee grow, suffer pangs of growth, strive for success and has been involved in many efforts to both shape and re-shape the city. He's a happy man, now that he's quit playing golf, and enjoys music, his children and grandchildren and the myriad of sports in this state. He loves great food and hates bullies and people who think they are smarter than everyone else.
This whole Internet thing continues to baffle him, but he's willing to play the game as long as OnMilwaukee.com keeps lending him a helping hand. He is constantly amazed that just a few dedicated people can provide so much news and information to a hungry public.
Despite some opinions to the contrary, Dave likes most stuff. But he is a skeptic who constantly wonders about the world around him. So many questions, so few answers.
