Kishka!
It’s the Great Depression: A prized sausage goes missing, sparking mayhem in a butcher shop. Join us as food, family, and fate collide in the most unexpected ways!
Inspired by traditional polka music, the silent films of years gone by, and Wisconsin’s love of sausages, this show blends together the stunning artistry of jaw-dropping lyra, silks, acrobatics, Cyr wheel, juggling, and dance with family-friendly chaos and comedy. In addition to choreographing and performing individual and group acts, these nine artists are also handling many elements of stage management, rigging, and set, costume, and lighting design.
As part of this production, MCS is providing 50 free tickets for participants in the Goodman Center’s Older Adults Program. We hope that by providing free tickets to an underserved population, MCS can help to reduce social isolation and increase access to the arts — a major issue for older adults, especially those from low-income backgrounds. In addition to benefiting older adults, we believe that this initiative will help create a more intergenerational audience, deepening the connection between performers and the community.
