Doug Moe: Theater prof creates play on Milwaukee icon

UW-MADISON assistant professor of theater Patrick Sims was on a stage in Utah Monday night, acting in “10 Perfect,” the one person show he wrote based on the life of James Cameron, who survived a lynching as a young man and later founded America’s Black Holocaust Museum in Milwaukee.

The play — which had a reading at the Madison Rep last November — was scheduled for performances Monday night and July 16 at the Caine Lyric Theatre in Logan, Utah. Sims, who last spring starred in the Madison Rep’s production of “Home,” is working this summer with the Old Lyric Repertory Company in Logan. “10 Perfect” is being directed by UW-Madison grad student and adjunct theater instructor Sheri Williams Pannell.
