After pretending to retire since 2008, The Sweet Lips Theater Company continues to perform this late winter. This marks the 32nd year that Sweet Lips has shared its considerable talents with Central Wisconsin audiences.

According to cast members not only monkeys come in barrels but also beer, pickles, crackers, herring and comedy is right there on the bottom.

All of the "Sweet Lips RECALLED - in 3D" shows will feature the six original Sweet Lips cast Members -- some audience members would prefer that two or more were already dead. Should any of the cast pass away before the shows -- They will be replaced by manikins. Chances are no one will notice.

Formed in 1980 as a creative response to the limitations of local community theater, Sweet Lips has been on the stage ever since and they have plenty of splinters in their feet to prove it. Their early years were devoted to bringing audiences classical and contemporary comedies and dramas but it didn't take too long to realize that the effort involved in staging plays was more work and paid less than what they do now. What is it that they do? Well that is a little difficult to explain - original comedy and a prop box that fits neatly into the trunk of a Chevy Nova is a good start.

Six unlikely cohorts in comedy, Sweet Lips has been writing and performing two to three original comedy reviews a year for the last 26 years. The characters on stage are usually no different than those in the audience, which seems to be the key - "Real people making real people laugh." If you hang around long enough, you might even get a glimpse of yourself on stage in a compromising and often hilarious situation.

The troupe hails from Wisconsin's Portage County area and their loyal following has turned every performance into a must see social event to be shared with neighbors, friends, relatives and just about anyone in need of a good laugh. After 31 years together, the cast members, most of whom were around from the start, have taken the advice of many and held on to their day jobs. They mix a healthy dose of music and singing into their act and it hasn't seemed to bother audiences without hearing impairments. Their plan is simple, keep audience members guessing by never knowing what is going to happen next, and it usually works.

Bring your neighbors and friends and be ready for a night that will be hard to explain when it's all over. One member of the group recommends taking two Advil prior to a performance to avoid sore cheeks brought on by your own unbridled laughter. We hope to meet you laughing at one of our future shows.
