OUR EVENT TIMES

Greetings from Green Lake

A new work created as a a part of World Premiere Wisconsin 

by Deanna Strasse

Best friends and roommates Lynda and Melinda have spent their entire lives taking care of others, and, as they approach retirement age, they are ready to focus on themselves. For Melinda, that means finally writing that anthrozoology book she’s always wanted to pen. For Lynda, that means coming to terms with her supposed gift to reawaken the dead. Things get complicated when Melinda’s anxious and uptight niece Beth comes to visit, throwing their idyllic though unorthodox life into a tailspin. Between a very dead bird, a very live tortoise, and these women all trying to figure out the secret to life, the city of Green Lake, Wisconsin may never be the same.

What is World Premiere Wisconsin?

World Premiere Wisconsin (WPW) is an inaugural statewide festival celebrating new plays and
musicals from March 1 – June 30, 2023, presented by the Ten Chimneys Foundation.
Spearheaded by the leadership of Forward Theater Company of Madison, Milwaukee Repertory

Theater, and Northern Sky Theater of Door County, WPW was conceived with four primary
goals in mind: to build relationships between Wisconsin theater makers, to raise national
awareness about Wisconsin’s thriving and diverse theater ecosystem, to encourage the
production of new work, and to communicate a positive story about theater making in
Wisconsin during this critical phase of recovery and rebuilding. From the tip of Door County to
the state line, WPW is a bold idea, locally brewed with pride right here in our great state. For
