directed by Jill Anna Ponasik
Music Direction by Ryan Cappleman
Choreography by James Zager
Featuring an all-star cast of Milwaukee veteran performers, and directed by visionary Jill Anna Ponasik, A CHORUS LINE will bring a new perspective to the classic, by pitting performers over 40 years of age against a young, upstart director and his hot-shot choreographer. The Nancy Kendall Theater on the campus of Cardinal Stritch University hosts this remarkable event for two nights only (Sunday, August 27 and Monday, August 28 at 7:30 PM) as part of their Arts @ Stritch performance series.
