A John (Jack) D. Lewis New Play Development Production, The Nativity Variations is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy where modern cynicism meets emotional tenderness in one holy (moly) night! How do you improve on the "greatest story ever told?" Comedic mayhem ensues as small-town director Jules and her ragtag amateur theater company attempt to put their own spin on the traditional Christmas Nativity play. Out-of-control puppets, Shakespearean comedy and some "very creative" imaginations threaten to transform this holy night into a Waiting for Guffman-esque fiasco. You won't want to miss this outlandish World Premiere by Award-winning playwright Catherine Trieschmann and its unique take on art, community, and the true meaning of the Holiday season.

The Nativity Variations runs November 16 - December 11, 2022, in the Quadracci Powerhouse. Purchase tickets at www.MilwaukeeRep.com, by calling the Ticket Office at 414-224-9490 or in person at 108 E. Wells Street in downtown Milwaukee.
