MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) --- Milwaukee Repertory Theater is welcoming audiences back with 12 productions across four venues beginning Oct. 29 through July 1, 2022.

Officials say they want to ensure vaccines have time to b fully distributed and work to their optimal level before the start of the 2021/22 season.

Along with the new dates and programming, this season will include two world premiers, a Tony Award-winning musical, Shakespeare, and the Green Bay Packers.

The two world premieres are by Pulitzer Prize finalist Dael Orlandersmith, Antonio's Song / I was Dreaming of a Son, and New Age.

The season will feature the Tony Award-winning musical Titanic The Musical, as well as the international collaboration of Shakespeare and The Beatles called As You Like It, adapted by Daryl Cloran.

A new musical comedy for Green Bay Packers fans called Dad's Season Tickets will also be featured.

Milwaukee Rep will also have the return of holiday tradition, A Christmas Carol, in the Historic Pabst Theater with Lee E. Ernst as Scrooge.
