*ADULT (and weird) LANGUAGE AND CONTENT'
There will be more info to come about the closing Night afterparty with food, a raffle, and live Milwaukee punk bands after the show on September 15th!
We had support from an amazing fundraising campaign to make this production possible! We're really excited to feature these artists in this production, housed in intimate and non-traditional theatre spaces, with a new play and original music!
About the play: A history of America in the 1980s, an idiosyncratic genealogy of punk rock music, and a personal narrative of growing up as an outsider, punkplay is a mix tape tribute to the excesses and energy of adolescence. Mickey, a thirteen-year-old suburban mist, is befriended by an angry runaway named Duck. Together, they boys attempt to reinvent themselves using punk rock, but as reality threatens to crash in on them, their fabricated world of amped-up music and shocking band names becomes just as oppressive as the society they're desperate to reject.
