YOUR OWN THEATRE--YOUR OWN WORDS...

Something's been happening here at Next Act. Last season, our subscribers increased ranks by a whopping 19%! More people than ever before have tracked us down in our lobby and thanked us for our productions. There's been so much excitement in the air that we recently asked our audience to explain why. Boy, did we get an earful!*

A returning ticket buyer from Milwaukee told us:

"Great theatre--intimate, and I like that!"

A Shorewood subscriber added:

"It's excellent; fresh. I actually remember the plays we've seen."

One Hubertus season patron spoke for so many more, saying:

"The plays are ALWAYS thought-provoking."

And it is nearly impossible to count the ways in which you love our Off-Broadway Theatre:

"Intimate. Cozy. Comfortable. Fabulous place to see plays! Perfect size...Great venue...Best space around and performances to match."

Not to mention our actors:

"Compelling...Powerful...Always Professional...First Rate...Amazing."

For those of you who have subscribed before, we thank you and look forward to your return. For everyone who's interested in good theatre, I ask that you take a look at what we have in store.

Then, one of our Brookfield supporters has this recommendation:

"Subscribe, if you can. Don't hesitate. Make it YOUR Next Act!"

See you at your theatre!

David Cecsarini, Producing and Artistic Director
