 7 Stories by Morris Panych

Thursday, November 12, 2009 through Sunday, December 13, 2009. Call for times. A man teeters on a seventh story ledge of a building. We don't know why, but his purpose seems clear. The tenants who pop in the surrounding windows are too involved in their own petty problems to care about his dilemma. In fact, The Man becomes so embroiled in their vicious arguments and callous suggestions that he get on with it, he devises an entirely surprising and near-miraculous escape. Fast-paced, sophisticated, hilarious: questions of life and death have never been this much fun. Next Act Theatre, 342 N. Water St, 2nd floor, Milwaukee, Milwaukee County. Call 414-278-0765.
