SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 11, 2026
The Call List at Third Avenue PlayWorks in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, by Brian James Polak, is a deadly serious comedy about being alive. Part of the World Premiere Wisconsin Festival.
Directed by: Jacob Janssen
Featuring: Eva Nimmer*
Meet Sam—a restless dreamer, anxious doodler, and professional wanderer in search of purpose. When her law firm boss hands her a simple list of names and one chilling task—call them all and announce a client’s death—her mundane workday takes a bizarre turn. Curiosity pulls Sam into a mystery that’s equal parts darkly funny and unexpectedly heartfelt. Armed with only her notebook and razor-sharp wit, she chases clues that lead to something far deeper – and more personal – than she expected.
