THE THREEPENNY OPERA
Original Script by Bertolt Brecht / Music by Kurt Weill
Translated by Sean Langenecker and Megan McGlone
Directed by Sean Langenecker / Music Direction by Evan Jensen
You may think you know the story, but in this radical translation/adaptation the classic tale of misogyny and murder is turned on its head. Familiar tunes like “Mac the Knife” and “Pirate Jenny” are set in a new script brimming with queer, feminist socialism that resounds with a revolutionary spirit that Brecht would surely approve. Yawohl!
MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
This production of The Threepenny Opera, translated and adapted by Sean Langenecker and Megan McGlone, is part of World Premiere Wisconsin, a statewide festival celebrating new plays and musicals running throughout 2026. To learn more, visit www.worldpremierewisconsin.com
