Milwaukee Opera Theatre presents a developmental reading of Maybe We’ll Fly, a new play by Marie Kohler with music by Josh Schmidt and direction by Elizabeth Margolius, about one woman’s unstoppable desire to make art. Maybe We’ll Fly is inspired by the life and work of Wisconsin outsider artist Mary Nohl (1914-2001), who built large, whimsical statues from cement and cast-off objects found around her lakeside home. The play explores what drives this artist’s aspiration to create, to delight and provoke her community . . . and to make her mark.

This reading will include an additional performance at the Art Preserve of the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan, where portions of Mary’s home are preserved. Maybe We'll Fly performances will take place at the Florentine Opera Leuders Opera Center.  926 E Burleigh Street, Milwaukee WI 53212.
