Thursday on Lake Effect: Warning League, 'Violet', 'Operation Wolf Patrol', 'The Taming'

Thursday on Lake Effect:

We discuss the history of Milwaukee’s Warning League, and catch up with former players who graduated to play college basketball. Later, the Skylight Theatre opens the award-winning musical, Violet, which explores the early days of the modern civil rights era through the eyes of a young woman, traveling through 1964 American. Then, a new film takes on the issue of wolves in Wisconsin and the policies governing them. And the play, The Taming, makes the case that democracy must be a work in progress.

Guests:

  • Brian Garner, Todd Barnett, and Calvin Rayford, former Warning League players
  • Sheri Pannell and Ray Jivoff, Violet
  • Joe Brown, director, Operation Wolf Patrol: Wildlife Policy in Wisconsin
  • David Cesarini, Sara Zientek, Marti Gobel, and Bree Beelow, The Taming
