Maybe We’ll Fly

Marie Kohler collaborates with composer Josh Schmidt on a play with music about one woman’s unstoppable desire to make art. MAYBE WE’LL FLY is inspired by the life and work of Wisconsin outsider artist Mary Nohl (1914-2001), who built large, whimsical statues from cement and cast-off objects in the yard of her lakeside home. The play explores what drives this artist’s aspiration to create, to delight and provoke her community… and to make her mark.
