Playwright Martín Zimmerman is best known for his work as a writer and producer on the Netflix hit show, Ozark. But, in this must-see world premiere, Zimmerman turns his focus to one of the most complicated and impactful moments in Milwaukee history: the 1917 bomb explosion inside the Oneida Street police station. Join us as four actors valiantly and hilariously strive to disentangle the narratives of this historic event: what actually happened, who’s telling the story, and how do we make it make sense – even when it doesn’t?

Run time: approximately 90 minutes, no intermission

Please note that the production features loud air horn noises
