About this event
"Mrs. Christie" at the Milwaukee Rep offers a delightful exploration of Agatha Christie's mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926. This charming comedy, written by Heidi Armbruster and directed by Joanie Schultz, invites audiences into a world of intrigue and humor. The play is a co-production with Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, adding depth to its storytelling.
Set in the Checota Powerhouse Theater, the play is perfect for those who love a good mystery with a comedic twist. The theater's intimate setting enhances the experience, making every moment feel personal. For a complete Agatha Christie immersion, consider pairing this with "And Then There Were None" for a comprehensive look at the Queen of Mystery's life and work.
From the organizer
This effervescent, charming new comedy celebrates writers, womanhood, and the stories that shape our lives. In 1926, famed author Agatha Christie vanished for 11 days, reappearing without explanation. The real-life case of the “Missing Mrs. Christie” became a tabloid sensation, but the reasons behind her disappearance remain unknown. Now, 100 years later, a devoted superfan stumbles upon the clues that could finally crack the case, launching a coming-of-age journey of memory and self-discovery – with the thrill of a good old-fashioned mystery.

Who'll Be There
Likely a mixed crowd of adults and older teens, including theater-goers, book lovers, and those interested in cultural events. Expect a more mature audience, possibly skewed towards women, given the themes of the play.
Part II · The feel
The details organizers don't always put in the description — pulled from the room, the crowd, and what people remember afterward.
Library rules. Whispers and a calm body — this is not a talking-out-loud room.
Audience-shaped. You watch; the room is not here to talk to you.
