SUMMARY:Trayf
DESCRIPTION:In 1990s New York City\, Orthodox Jewish teens and lifelong best friends Zalmy and Shmuel are intent on saving the world from behind the wheel of their “Mitzvah Tank” van. But when a curious outsider deepens Zalmy’s interest in the secular world of rock and roll and roller skates\, Shmuel will have to do everything in his power to keep his and Zalmy’s dreams intact. This road-trip bromance is a funny and heartwarming ode to the turbulence of youth\, the universal suspicion that we don’t quite fit in and the faith and friends that see us through. \nCo-Sponsors Dave Glenn\, Sandy Laedtke and Guy and Mary Jo McDonald \nCast\nFeaturing\nA.J.

SUMMARY:Preview: 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche
DESCRIPTION:It’s 1956\, and the Susan B. Anthony Society for the Sisters of Gertrude Stein has gathered for its annual quiche breakfast when suddenly the bomb drops. As nuclear apocalypse rages outside\, the Sisters realize they may be the last people left on Earth… which raises some very pressing questions about the future of the human race. 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche – the laugh-out-loud cult hit that stormed Chicago and off-Broadway – is now detonating in Milwaukee. It’s immersive\, too: every guest is sworn into the Society on arrival\, and with roughly 30% improvised\, no two apocalypses are alike. Presented by The Constructivists\, produced by Cap and Glasses Studios\, at Pink’s Accessible Theater House this October. Come for the quiche. Stay for the end of the world. \nPerformances October 1–24\, 2026 — evenings 8:00 p.m.\, Sunday matinees 4:00 p.m. Full schedule and tickets ($20) at 5leqmke.com. \n
