Milwaukee Chamber Theatre closes it 2015-2016 season with the stylish, witty and sparking classic, FALLEN ANGELS by the master of comedy Noe?l Coward, April 14 - May 1, 2016. Producing Artistic Director C. Michael Wright will direct MCT favorites Kay Allmand, Matt Koester, Beth Mulkerron, Rick Pendzich, Molly Rhode and Chase Stoeger. FALLEN ANGELS performs in the Broadway Theatre Center's Cabot Theatre in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward.
London. 1925. Julia and Jane are the dearest of friends. And both are happily married. That is until they each unexpectedly hear that an old flame will be paying a call. When they discover that they're both still carrying a torch for the very same Maurice, the fur begins to fly! Noe?l Coward is the master of drawing room comedy, and this delightful diversion is chock-full of his razor-sharp wit, charming musical interludes and all-around joie de vivre!
C. Michael Wright returns to this classic Noe?l Coward comedy after directing it at Next Act Theatre in 2001. When asked why he chose to make it part of MCT's season he said, "What makes FALLEN ANGELS particularly appealing to me is that it has three extremely juicy women's roles, which is all too rare. And Coward really knew how to write for women!"
The three women's roles will be filled by talented local actresses Kay Allmand (JEEVES TAKES A BOW), Beth Mulkerron (A THOUSAND CLOWNS) and Molly Rhode (A THOUSAND WORDS and TRYING). Rhode is returning to the role of Saunders, a role she played in Next Act's 2001 production. The cast includes local actors Matt Koester (JEEVES IN BLOOM), Rick Pendzich (COMPLETE WORKS/SHAKESPEARE, LEND ME A TENOR) and Chase Stoeger (JEEVES TAKES A BOW, COMPLETE WORKS/SHAKESPEARE).
