MILWAUKEE - It's classic Shakespeare with a new take – like "Macbeth" with puppets! Or how about "Hamlet" where all the characters are played by one actor?
The Optimist Theatre of Milwaukee presents "Shakespeare in the City," a slight change from "Shakespeare in the Park" of years past.
Organizers said the change was intended to "expand our programming and bring lots more Shakespeare with a broader variety of approaches to lots more of our fair city."
