Milwaukee theatre icon Bo Johnson is working with Marquette on a show that opens next month. The Quiltmaker's Gift. It's based on the book of the same name by Jeff Brumbeau. The popular children's book tells the story of a selfish king who learns happiness through giving away his possessions. The book itself is only a little over ten hers sold. In that time it has spawned a prequel and this musical that has seen a number of productions in the recent past.
The Marquette production of The Quiltmaker's Gift runs January 11th through 19th at Marquette's Helfaer Theatre. For more information, visit Marquette University online.
