The narrative explores the stories we hear from unexpected people, making it both hilarious and moving.

The show is not just about entertainment; it's also dedicated to a good cause. Both performances on May 7 and May 8 support Stella's Playground, an initiative to build Milwaukee’s first universally accessible and inclusive playground. This adds a layer of purpose to an already intriguing evening.

From the organizer

Greg Marshall is a three time Emmy Award winning storyteller and producer. His one person show, Greg Marshall Pops Out of the Trees is a true, hilarious and deeply moving story about a young man who learns that the greatest story isn't the one he tells, but the ones he hears from the most unexpected people. The show, directed by Dave Kang, is an entertaining blend of storytelling and music with poetic surprises (aka improv music and freestyling). It hooks you and leaves you wanting more. One audience member said "I felt like I was watching a movie." Another said, "This will be one of the most unique and unexpected experiences you can possibly treat yourself to."
