Review: MRS. CHRISTIE at Milwaukee Repertory Theater
by Cathy Jakicic - Apr 19, 2026

Heidi Armbruster brings heart and humor of real-life mystery of “Mrs. Christie.” Agatha Christie created more than 80 mysteries over her legendary career, but only one didn’t come with a solution. It’s the one she created when she disappeared for 11 days in 1926. Christie never explained her disappearance, but plenty of other writers have given it a try. The latest is playwright Heidi Armbruster, with her comedy “Mrs. Christie.”

Review: ROMEO AND JULIET at Milwaukee Rep
by Cathy Jakicic - Mar 2, 2025

Moving Shakespeare’s classic plays to different, usually more modern, environs is not new — and doesn’t always make the transition with losing something in translation, but the Milwaukee Rep’s “Romeo and Juliet” — presented in Appalachian dress and accented with bluegrass, folk and country music — is a most successful pairing – unlike the titular lovers.
