The Rotary Club of West Allis held a great social gathering at I.S. on Thursday, Oct 30.  It was a delight to meet so many of the people who have helped to shape West Allis through their professional and charitable work.  Mayor Dan Devine made a special appearance and was able to speak of the great developments in West Allis... one of which is Inspiration Studios! 

Electrical work is being completed to add much needed lighting to the outside of the building... now that the skies are dark earlier and earlier... to highlight the beautiful banners that advertise what I.S. is promoting in the community.  

Today the American Girl exhibit goes into the gallery:  Meet Allison--An American Girl.  It has already drawn the attention of Milwaukee Magazine who wrote an article about the exhibit in their November edition.

And this is tech week for THE ICEMAN COMETH, the debut production of the Cream City Theatre, directed by Katherine Beesom which opens this Friday for a two-weekend run.  A cast of 19 characters will perform this staged reading... hopefully to a sold-out crowd.

Connections made with local community organizations and individuals are helping to draw more and more attention to this venue...and to the possibility of collaborations that will help foster the arts in West Allis.  I'm looking forward to bringing theatre projects from other states and planning art events with or at local restaurants/cafes. (Joe already wants a painting party at Urban Joe's!  "The sooner, the better!" he said.)  
 
And reservation requests continue to filter in from local theatre groups that would like to use the space for their own specific projects.  It can be a juggling act trying to fit it all in, but it's certainly worth the effort.  I'm not a fan of the cold weather, but winter looks promising right about now.  -Erico

    Erico Ortiz

    Erico Ortiz was born in Cayey, Puerto Rico and was raised in Milwaukee. He earned his undergraduate degree at Marquette University (Spanish Education) and a Masters Degree from UW-Milwaukee (Administrative Leadership). After working for  Milwaukee Public Schools (teacher, administrator) for 33 years, it was time for retirement and a new direction.  
         Erico has worked with several community theatre companies, both on stage and behind the scenes, something he still enjoys today, and is a board member of the Village Playhouse.  He plays guitar and can be found Sunday mornings directing the Spanish choir at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish in Milwaukee.  
         Painting has become a passion since retirement in 2011, leading to the development of Erico's Gallery.  Since then, he has delved into the arts world by becoming involved with Riverwest Artists Association and the Sheboygan Visual Artists.  This latest venture, the purchase of an art gallery and performance space should prove to be exciting.
