* Our curtain time is 9 PM for most performances because The Story of My Life is taking place in a working bookstore, during their busiest month of the year. Thank you Boswell, for letting us get away with that!  The Story of My Life lasts 90 minutes with no intermission.  The bookstore will be open for browsing 30 minutes before each performance.

The creative team:  
Stage Direction:  C. Michael Wright
Music Direction:  Anne Van Deusen
Costume Design:  Jason Orlenko
Lighting Design:  Antishadows LLC

Featuring:
Doug Clemons as Alvin Kelby (the friend who stayed home)
Adam Estes as Thomas Weaver (the friend who moved away)

The Story of My Life traces the thirty-year friendship of Thomas Weaver, a successful novelist living the dream in a big city, and Alvin Kelby, the inspiration behind his popular stories who stayed behind in small town America to manage his father's bookstore.  After Alvin's unexpected death, Thomas travels home to deliver his friend's eulogy.  In a series of flashbacks both comic and poignant, Thomas recounts the course of their friendship from youthful infatuation to disillusionment and estrangement, ultimately finding redemption in the stories that shaped their lives.  

Presented with help from our friends at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, The Story of My Life will warm hearts and feed souls this holiday season.

Parking tips:  There are a lot of options for parking at Boswell. For those who like surface lots, there's a small city lot just north of Sendiks. There is a parking garage across the street from the bookstore, though please note, they do not validate. And there's plenty of street parking to accommodate attendees. The key is to think south and east of the store, not north and west. There are many spaces where Downer, Lake Drive, and Bradford meet, especially along the Lake Drive stretch of Eastcastle Place.
