For Urban Milwaukee members, we have a very limited number of free tickets available for Next Act Theatre’s latest production.
Next Act Theater’s season continues with Boswell, a play by Marie Kohler.
When ambitious 20th-century academic Joan goes looking for unpublished writings by literary giant Samuel Johnson, she finds her work interrupted by James Boswell. Chatty, bawdy, flawed and deeply honest, Boswell’s 18th-century journals of his grand journey through Scotland with Johnson take Joan back in time, showing her the power of authenticity and the need to make her own place in the world. Heart and mind spar wittily in this epic adventure of friendship, travel and the written word.
Boswell runs from Nov. 19 to Dec. 14, 2025.
