Venture Theatre

Local theatre critic Warren Gerds gave the Marx Brothers homage ‘Slaphappy’ four stars in his recent review.

“The play is a fast-paced, high-energy romp that teases presidential politics to the hilt. It’s funny.”

“Venture Theatre’s shows are fresh and original, and this run again is technically a world premiere. Definitely, you’d have to go a long way to find anything like “Slaphappy.”

Have you seen a show at Venture Theatre and said to yourself, “Self, that would be a great show for my school, theatre group, church group, forensics competition or gaggle of random strangers to put on. I wonder where I can get my hands on the script.”

Well wonder no more. www.VentureScripts.com has many of the shows you’ve come to know and love from the Venture stage (and even some you haven’t seen). And more will be added as they come available.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette has graced its pages with another glowing review for Venture Theatre and our latest production, “The Pennsylvania Rose.” The three-star review includes these snippets:

“Out of the legends and sagas of the old “B” western movies rides “The Pennsylvania Rose,” a new and original play at Venture Theatre.”

“Stage westerns are rarely done, except maybe as melodramas. The beauty of Venture Theatre is it flies against fears of “can’t-be-done” and lets creativity loose.”
