Next Act Theatre closes season with premiere of 'Dinner with the Duchess'

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Next Act Theatre is presenting the U.S. premiere of "Dinner with the Duchess" by Nick Green, running through May 17 at 255 S. Water St. in Milwaukee.

The play, originally developed in Toronto in 2024, centers on a violin virtuoso facing her final interview and the secrets it forces her to confront.

The production marks a significant return: Laura Gordon, who has worked with Next Act since its first production in 1990, steps back onto the company's stage for the first time in 17 years. Joining her is Andrew May, making his Next Act debut with more than 40 years of stage, film and TV experience.

Gordon and May joined us on Tuesday, April 28 to discuss the show. Tickets are available by clicking here or by calling (414) 278-0765.
