The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that the Florentine Opera’s production of “La Bohème,” which will be set in Milwaukee’s Bronzeville neighborhood in the 1940s, has enlisted the help of Sheri Williams Pannell (Assistant Professor and Area Head of Musical Theatre). According to the article by Jim Higgins, stage director Nadja Simmonds is “relying on the extensive research and dramaturgy of Milwaukee theater artist Sheri Williams Pannell, whose music-filled play “Welcome to Bronzeville” was produced by First Stage in 2017.”
