REHEARSALS BEGIN ON ‘THE CALL LIST’ BY BRIAN JAMES POLAK,
Rehearsals begin on The Call List by Brian James Polak at Third Avenue PlayWorks (TAP). The Call List is presented as part of World Premiere Wisconsin, a statewide festival celebrating new plays and musicals running throughout 2026. The fourth show of the 2026 season at Third Avenue PlayWorks runs from September 23 through October 11, 2026, featuring Door County favorite Eva Nimmer.
From the Director: The Call List
In 1952, the second Red Scare is at its height. Televised Senate hearings fan the flames of suspicion, the hydrogen bomb is under development, and paranoia seeps into every aspect of American life. The fear that a communist might be around every corner—or even sharing your bed—turns neighbors into suspects and private lives into political battlegrounds. Holy Mackerel! Who couldn't use a break from such relentless pressure? Audiences came together at the cinema to see their anxiety and paranoia reflected in Film Noir or they watched screwball comedies to float for a time above those same anxieties while society’s rigid social norms were skewered with fast talking repartee and farcical situations.

CULTURE CLUB: You Saw it Here First
DKAF has a new slogan: “Where new work goes to grow!” Most arts festivals present work that has already been completed, reviewed and polished. Door Kinetic Arts Festival (DKAF) offers something different: the opportunity to experience new work while it is still being discovered – and perhaps to see it years before the rest of the world does.
