What could possibly deliver more fun than a night of cool food, great wine selected just for you and an evening of wonderful theater?
That’s the idea behind the Saturday Date Night package created by David Cecsarini’s Next Act Theatre.
Milwaukee’s theater companies are always looking for more ways to get people into the seats, and this one sounds like it should be right in the ballpark for young couples looking for a night out – and someplace other than a bar or a movie.
The evening, in the flourishing Walker's Point neighborhood, begins overlooking the Milwaukee River at Wine Maniacs on the River with a three-course wine dinner specially prepared for package holders by the chef staff. Each course will be paired with a wine personally selected by Head Wine Guy, Jeff Cox. After dinner, patrons will head to nearby Next Act for a night of thought-provoking entertainment in a modern, intimate performance space.
Saturday Date Night packages are available for the following productions: "Heresy" by A. R. Gurney, "No Child" by Nilaja Sun and "Ten Questions to Ask Your Biology Teacher about Evolution" by Stephen Massicotte.
Information about the package can be found at the Next Act website and you can take a look at the Wine Maniacs menu here.
With a history in Milwaukee stretching back decades, Dave tries to bring a unique perspective to his writing, whether it's sports, politics, theater or any other issue.
He's seen Milwaukee grow, suffer pangs of growth, strive for success and has been involved in many efforts to both shape and re-shape the city. He's a happy man, now that he's quit playing golf, and enjoys music, his children and grandchildren and the myriad of sports in this state. He loves great food and hates bullies and people who think they are smarter than everyone else.
This whole Internet thing continues to baffle him, but he's willing to play the game as long as OnMilwaukee.com keeps lending him a helping hand. He is constantly amazed that just a few dedicated people can provide so much news and information to a hungry public.
Despite some opinions to the contrary, Dave likes most stuff. But he is a skeptic who constantly wonders about the world around him. So many questions, so few answers.
