Renaissance Theaterworks "Road to Mecca" : Renaissance Theaterworks (RTW) wraps up its 20th season with THE ROAD TO MECCA by Athol Fugard. Suzan Fete will be directing one of Fugar’ds most lyrical plays, featuring Linda Stephens, Bri Sudia and Jonathan Gillard Daly. Running April 5 – 28, 2013, at the Studio Theatre, 158 N. Broadway. Tickets can be purchased for $36 (fee & taxes not included) in person at the Broadway Theatre Center Box Office, by telephone at (414) 291-7800, or click here. THE ROAD TO MECCA is based on the life and work of Helen Martins – South Africa’s foremost Outsider Artist. For over 20 years, reclusive Miss Helen created her own “Mecca” – a fascinating backyard world of sculpture and mosaics in a desolate region of Apartheid South Africa. The village Pastor who embodies the community’s conservative values is determined to move the elderly Miss Helen into an old age home. Miss Helen’s dearest friend Elsa is just as determined that she remain free. MECCA is a tribute to the bravery of the Artist and the significance of artistic freedom in an oppressed society. The character of Miss Helen bears an uncanny resemblance to Milwaukee’s own Outsider Artist Mary Nohl who created her personal “Mecca” of outdoor sculpture at her Beach Drive home in Fox Point. Thanks to the Mary L. Nohl Fund, RTW has been working with community members and Katie Martin, a local visual artist and Peck School of the Arts Faculty member, on the creation of hundreds of unique owl sculptures to make the "Mecca" experience come to life. Director: Suzan Fete Cast: Linda Stephens (Helen), Bri Sudia (Elsa) and Jonathan Gillard Daly (Marius) Production Team Julie Swenson (Producer) Brandy Kline (Stage Manager) Lisa Schlenker (Set Design) R.H.

Pursuing her dream, Rita enrolls at the Open University for non-traditional students. Her tutor, Frank, a cynical career academic, teaches in order to pay for his drink. To his astonishment, Frank’s spirit is awakened by Rita’s comic honesty and passionate intellect. Together they embark on a challenging and wildly funny journey through the likes of Yates, Ibsen and E. M. Forster.
