Listen: As promised earlier this week, more interviews from the Rep! In these pieces, we get a little window into the lives of the actors behind the characters. A few weeks back, I went down to the wonderful Repertory Theater ( you can hear the tour we did last year here) and chatted with a few of their charming actors.
Elizabeth in Almost, Maine
First, meet Elizabeth Ledo, an actor based in Chicago who, amongst other things, recently made a guest appearance in the Rep's production of Almost, Maine. (By the way, if you needed any extra motivation to listen, she has an amazing voice.) -Over the course of these pieces, we've heard a wide variety of answers to "What is it like to be an actor?" Elizabeth on her life as an actress:
Gerard on stage!
Meet Gerard Neugent, one of The Rep's wonderful resident actors. And while he's an incredibly talented performer, Gerard may not strike you as an actor when you first meet him. What do I mean? Take a listen. -Gerard's first words after my first question were, "When I was 11 years old, I'm from Des Moines, Iowa, and I wanted to be an actor and live in Milwaukee. That was my dream." Really?
Over the course of this campaign, I've had a chance to see a few shows at the Rep and their quality consistently bowls me over. And they're right here in Milwaukee, all the time! Learn more about the Rep here .
