Peck School of the Arts theatre alum Connor Nekich (BFA 2023) has been selected for the Emerging Professional Residency at Milwaukee Repertory Theater, a highly competitive program that accepts only eight actors each year from more than 200 applicants. Nekich will understudy It’s a Wonderful Life Radio Play and the first regional production of McNeal, and will also appear on stage in the Rep’s 50th anniversary production of A Christmas Carol. Nekich previously studied under Lecturer Jeff Mosser, who directs the residency program.
