Marquette Theatre to present 'Fairview,' starting Nov. 14

Nov. 7, 2025

MILWAUKEE - Marquette Theatre will present "Fairview" from Friday, Nov. 14, to Sunday, Nov. 23, at the Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre, 525 N. 13th St.

At the Frasier household, preparations for grandma's birthday party are underway. Beverly is holding on to her sanity by a thread to make sure this party is perfect, but her sister can't be bothered to help, her husband doesn't seem to listen, her brother is MIA, her daughter is a teenager, and maybe nothing is what it seems in the first place! Jackie Sibblies Drury's script is edgy, unique and provides a dazzling exploration of how we view what we view and how we are viewed. "Fairview" won the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

This show will run:

• Nov. 14-15, 20-22, at 7:30 p.m.
• Nov. 16 and 23, at 2:30 p.m.

"Fairview" is presented through arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

Tickets are available for purchase through the Marquette Theatre ticketing webpage. For more information about performances, please contact the Helfaer Box Office at (414) 288-7504 or [email protected].
