LUMBERJACKS IN LOVE to be Presented at Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Stackner Cabaret

Milwaukee Rep will present Lumberjacks in Love from Fred Alley and James Kaplan, the creators behind Guys on Ice, in the Stackner Cabaret November 8, 2024 – January 12, 2025. Directed by Jeffrey Herbst, the Artistic Director of Northern Sky Theater in Door County, Lumberjacks in Love is a hilarious show filled with up nort’ humor and fun-loving songs. This flannel-clad musical takes us to the Northwoods in 1912, where a camp of burly lumberjacks revel in their bachelor lives as the only men in hundreds of miles — until a special delivery named Rose shows up and flips their lives around like a flapjack. Nothing is quite like it seems for these colorful characters as they search for friendship, romance and truth in this irresistible, light-hearted musical comedy.

The cast of Lumberjacks in Love includes Ryan Cappleman (Hello, Dolly!, Forte Theatre) as Dirty Bob, Co-founder of Northern Sky TheaterDoc Heide as Muskrat, Eva Nimmer (The Nativity Variations, Milwaukee Rep) as The Kid, Joe Picchetti (The Lion in Winter, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre) as Minnesota Slim, Northern Sky Associate Artistic Director and former Emerging Professional Resident (EPR) at Milwaukee Rep Molly Rhode (The Front Page, Mill on the Floss at Milwaukee Rep) as Rosemary Rogers and Chase Stoeger (Cheeseheads! The Musical, Northern Sky) as Moonlight.
