A scene from "Menace to Society: A Mormon in Milwaukee," a Broom Street Theater production (left to right): James Rowe, Anthony Cary, Liza Sipos.
Another off-the-beaten-path offering from the longtime experimenters at Broom Street. Playwright Liza Sipos stars in her own play about a young Mormon woman who begins questioning her faith despite hearing the voice of the prophet Joseph Smith inside her head. And how’s this for a dramatic backstory? Sipos met Broom Street artistic director Doug Reed (a former Mennonite) at the Willy Street Fair after he overheard her saying she studied theater at Brigham Young University. Sipos also wrote and performed in the Mormon comedy troupe Divine Comedy in Salt Lake City.
