“I’ve known Emily for years,” said Plec. “We’ve had a lot of good times together as we both grew up from assistants and baby execs into the established women we are today. She’s smart and driven and fearless and most importantly she’s a good human. She’ll be a terrific creative partner for me and any storyteller who walks through our (virtual) doors at My So-Called Company.”

Every February, we celebrate Black History Month to recognize the achievements and contributions of Black people as well as work toward understanding the effects of racism. The Milwaukee Repertory Theater is presenting âWe Rise: MKEâs Celebration of Black History Monthâ with four, free virtual events that honor the contributions made by Black artists to American theater.Â
ââWe Riseâ celebrates the past, present, and the hope of the future,â says Associate Artistic Producer Rajendra Ramoon Maharaj. âEach event will not only be informative and entertaining, but, I hope, will inspire in every American that African American history is American history.âÂ
