Cabaret Milwaukee returns at the end of the month with its second episode of The Jealous Revolver. The original retro show features host Richard Howling presenting a series of segments in the spirit of old-time radio. The full period dramatization is set in 1942 complete with a house jazz band, news updates and various other segments patterned after the format of a classic radio variety show. It all centers around a hard boiled detective story that is now in its second chapter.
The venue for the program is the basement of the Brumder Mansion . . . as close to a perfect and perfectly intimate historic venue for the program as one could hope for. It’s a perfect WWII-era radio feel complete with drinks, jazz and more.
Cabaret Milwaukee’s The Jealous Revolver Episode 2 runs Oct. 29 - Nov. 8 at the Brumder Mansion on 3046 W. Wisconsin Ave. For ticket reservations and more, visit Cabaret Milwaukee online.
