Here Ye, Here Ye…the Bard Is Back!

But only for one night – November 11th at 7:00 PM!

if you missed the West Allis Players Spring 2023 production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised], you’ve got a one night chance to see it, and help benefit Mt. Hope Theatre and community theater. Tickets are only $10 and will be available at the door.

Performance Location:
Mt. Hope Lutheran Church
8633 W. Becher St.
West Allis, WI 53227

The Cliff Notes:
Want a show that parodies the plays of the great William Shakespeare? Think that Shakespeare is normally too long to go see? Do you lose count of how many characters there are in Shakespeare’s shows? Do you want actors to break the fourth wall and talk to you and with you rather than at you?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then do we have the show for you! For those keeping track, that would be 37 plays in less than two hours. That’s only a little over $0.27 per play. An crazy amazing value!

The Cast List:
This is one of those shows…everyone is playing tons of Shakespearean characters. So many in fact, we’re just going to list the talent that will be bringing the characters to life.

New Web Site Launch

Welcome to the new West Allis Players website! We hope you like our new layout. Hopefully it will make it easier to find the things you need. Here are a few highlights of the new site!

  • Find our current season information right with the “Current Season” link at the top.
  • Join our mailing list with the link on the left to stay up to date with what we’re up to and how you can join us and volunteer.  Or just so you know when to mark your calendar to come see a production.
  • The History & Past Shows section will let you see our entire history of shows.  For shows we have photos for, they are now posted for the seasons as well.  Just select a season to see the photos from those shows.  If you have some photos for a show that we don’t have, please reach out if you’re willing to share them with us

We’ve still got some more information coming.  We plan to add the cast/crew lists for each of the shows as well, so that all our great volunteers, actors, and production teams can have the credit for all hard work shared for everyone to see.

General, Meetings

Annual Membership Meeting

The annual West Allis Players’ membership meeting will be held on Thursday, September 15th, 2022, at 7:00 pm at the West Allis Recreation Center, which is located at 2450 South 68th Street.
Elections will be held at this meeting. The current board members (Katherine Beeson, Ray Nazer, Scot Fudali, Dori Templin, Mary Beth Topf, and Michael Jablonski) are all running for re-election, plus any nominees from the floor.
We also will be voting on a Constitutional change to Article VI, Section 2. The proposed change will be to the first sentence. If approved, it will read “ The regular Board Meeting shall be held on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. at a school district facility unless production conflicts dictate a date change.”
After elections we will hold a brain storming session on how to better our community theatre. Come with some ideas for fund raising, increasing membership, getting more involved, conducting theatre opportunities in the areas of make-up, costumes, props, auditions, lighting and sound.
Even if you are not a member and would wish to be or have ideas, we would be happy to have you join us.

Come and enjoy this annual event!
