Welcome Home Cate!

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

With the opening of “The Dig” last Friday, January 16, Milwaukee will welcomed home one of our favorite superstars, Catherine Lynn Davis.  Davis is a long-time member of The Rep and American Players Theatre acting companies.  She left Wisconsin 10 years or so ago to pursue acting opportunities in Portland, Seattle and Cleveland.  

When playwright, Marie Kohler, and director, Norma Salvidar, were brainstorming names of actors to play in “The Dig”, they both thought Cate would be perfect for the role.

Be sure to check out Cate, Brian Robert Mani, Paul Hurley, Josh Aaron McCabe, and Elaine Robinson in Renaissance Theaterworks production of “The Dig”, which runs now through Sunday, February 8.

Who’s That Lady?? I Dig Her! (Get it..the Dig)

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009


It has been 4 years since this fabulous lady has given us a new play.  And come this Friday, January 16 her words will come alive again with her new play “The Dig”.  This is a story about the bonds of love, companionship, trust and protection between siblings.  How will Mattie come to terms with her brothers mental health?  Will they be the same?  How can they?  ”The Dig” takes us on a journey to the past to the events surrounding what happened on an archeology dig that could change a brother and a sister.

“The Dig” opens in the Broadway Theatre Center on Friday, January 16 and continues through February 8.  Tickets are on sale at the center’s box office at (414)291-7800 or at www.r-t-w.com
