This weekend marks the official launch of Milwaukee’s 2025 Shakespeare in the Park season! In this segment, we dive into the details of this year’s production with special insights from Susan. She shares how the tradition has grown over the years, with some audience members returning for decades.

We explore highlights of the pieces being performed, what makes this season unique, and how actors are pulling double duty—both performing and puppeteering on stage. Susan also introduces us to some of the standout performers bringing Shakespeare’s work to life in creative and unexpected ways.
