Milwaukee Opera Theatre presents: Thank You. NEXT? (a reality opera) Music by Tim Rebers / Words by Alicia Berneche To prove that the best drama happens off-stage, MOT has commissioned two opera singers to write a dramedy about the universal experience of the job interview. In the hallway outside an audition room, eleven opera singers prepare to sing their hearts out for a panel of judges. Here, in that most nerve-wracking and vulnerable of spaces, they tell the stories of the trials, heartaches, and joys of dedicating their lives to art.

On Saturday, August 6 , from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., a free wellness workshop titled “Guideposts of Faith in Times of Stress” will be sponsored by the School Sisters of St. Francis on their campus, St. Joseph Center, 1501 S. Layton Blvd. (27th St. at Greenfield Ave.), Milwaukee. Because living a balanced life can sometimes be challenging, having excellent resources for physical, psychological and spiritual wholeness is invaluable for people of faith. Presenter Marcia Isherwood, RN, will provide tips on dealing with a disquieted heart. As Gesu Parish nurse and representative of the Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation, her healthcare training and faith make her ideal to speak about leaning on God as well as knowing when to reach out for medical assistance. Mental health is just as important as physical health, and nurturing a faith life has been documented to yield positive effects on overall well-being. Ms. Isherwood will cover it all in her engaging and lively presentation style. Participants are strongly encouraged to sign up today, as registration is expected to fill up fast. Contact: Donna O’Loughlin at 414-385-5272 or doloughlin@sssf.org. Convenient free parking is located at 29th St. and Orchard Ave. in the sisters’ St. Joseph Center lot.
