A Love Story

By Tami Workentin
In Partnership with Milwaukee Repertory Theatre

This world premiere celebrates one of entertainment’s most iconic comedy couples, George Burns and Gracie Allen, brought to life by Tami Workentin and fellow Milwaukee favorite (and Tami’s real-life husband) Jim Pickering.

The play traces George and Gracie’s journey from humble vaudeville roots to beloved household names, capturing their rise through radio, film, and television. With George’s signature straight-man charm and Gracie’s legendary wit, the two reshaped American comedy—and captured hearts along the way.
