Jack Garton and Meaghan Heires in "Wintertime," Madison Public Theatre, 2025.
Madison Public Theatre tackles Wintertime by Charles Mee, one of the country’s most innovative playwrights. While the setup may sound like a romantic farce — a couple looking for an amorous retreat at a lake house is suddenly interrupted by neighbors and friends — Mee draws on theater history to take this to different areas. Shows at 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday (except for 2 p.m. on Feb. 22) and 2 p.m. on Feb. 16.

Wintertime
Written by Charles Mee and Directed by Matt Korda.
Madison Public invites you to experience Wintertime! This show is the perfect romantic comedy for the Valentine's season.
Jonathan loves Ariel. His mother, Maria, loves Francois. Frank, Maria’s husband and Jonathan’s father, loves Maria and his lover, Edmund. Bertha and Hilda, outspoken lesbian lovers, join the group, along with the composter guy and Dr. Benoit. Members of this gloriously eccentric family arrive at their summer house in the winter woods for supposedly secret rendezvous – and soon bodies collide, doors slam, dishes fly, and everyone’s perfect plans go fantastically wrong.
Doors slamming? Bodies colliding? A secret rendezvous going horribly awry?
Only in... Wintertime!
