Milwaukee Chamber Theatre presents: Chapatti

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre presents

CHAPATTI

by Christian O’Reilly

September 21 – October 14, 2018

Broadway Theatre Center’s Studio Theatre

 Both Dan and Betty would say they love their pets better than any person left alive – but when their lives cross paths, perhaps they’ll find they’re not past the opportunity for romance after all. In CHAPATTI, directed by Michelle Lopez-Rios, Irish writer Christian O’Reilly tells a poignant, gentle tale about rediscovering the importance of human connection. The production runs September 21 – October 14, 2018 at the Broadway Theatre Center’s Studio Theatre in the Historic Third Ward.

Dan seeks to heal his aching heart, with only his faithful dog Chapatti for companionship. Betty spends her days with a litter or two of kittens and an aging employer to nurse. For both, romance is a distant memory – until a chance encounter brings these two lonely Irish hearts together for one more adventure.

O’Reilly’s tale is presented in an extremely simple fashion, with both Dan and Betty often narrating their own halves of the story to the audience. Our two-person cast will feature James Tasse, returning to the MCT stage for the first time since THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES in 2010, and Jenny Wanasek, last seen in 2016’s VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE.

CHAPATTI performances will take place September 21 – October 14, 2018 (Opening Night: Saturday, September 22), in the Broadway Theatre Center’s Studio Theatre, 158 N. Broadway in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward. Tickets are available Monday through Saturday from noon-6:00 p.m. at the Broadway Theatre Center Box Office, 158 N.
