Gigante announces 32nd Season!

Theatre Gigante is pleased to announce its 2019-2020 Season!

The Season opens with THE BEGGAR’S OPERA, written and adapted by Isabelle Kralj & Mark Anderson. Directed by Isabelle Kralj and based on the original by John Gay, this raucous comedy about corruption, greed, self-interest and love runs September 27 – October 12, 2019 in Kenilworth 508 Theatre.

The Season continues with CRAVE, an enigmatic, thought provoking, and darkly poetic play by British playwright Sarah Kane. The evening, directed by Isabelle Kralj, will include music performed by saxophonist Aaron Gardner & friends. CRAVE runs March 12-15, 2020 in the sweeping, beautiful Jan Serr Studio on the 6^th floor of UWM’s Kenilworth Building.

DUE TO THE PANDEMIC, THE REMAINDER OF THE SEASON IS SUSPENDED, UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

The Season will close with a collaboration between Kralj & Anderson and Alessandro Renda of Teatro delle Albe (Ravenna, Italy), which will premiere in Milwaukee May 8-17, 2020 in Kenilworth 508 Theatre. Gigante is thrilled to be collaborating with Renda – Gigante audiences will remember his powerful performance in RUMORE DI ACQUE. Look for the title and other details TBA!
