Some discount tickets still available for Interfaith "talkback"
 with women from six faith traditions after Sunday's
 Skylight Music Theatre performance
 of the Gospel musical CROWNS

 Or...come to talkback for free. Talkback starts about 3:40 p.m.
 Our 30% discount also applies to other CROWNS performances
There are a limited number of specially discounted tickets available to attend a 2 p.m. performance on Sunday, March 13, by the Skylight Music Theatre of the Gospel musical “Crowns” at which the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee is organizing a post-performance talkback featuring women from six different faiths who cover their heads for religious and cultural purposes. Because there are fewer than 50 seats remaining, you should act quickly if you want to attend. 
Contact the box office at 414-291-7800 or online at www.skylightmusictheatre.org and use the discount code INTERFAITH. Individual tickets are 30% off, the best bargain, and the discount can be used for any of the performances of Crowns. There also is a group rate for some of the better seating. For tickets, contact the box office. For more information, contact the Interfaith Conference at 414-276-9050. 
The Skylight also will admit people at no charge for the talkback only. Arrive at the theater prior to the estimated talkback starting time of 3:40 p.m. The Skylight is located in Milwaukee's Third Ward in the Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway. 
Crowns is crafted around the tradition of African American women wearing elaborate hats to church services. The Skylight says, “In this jubilant Gospel musical, a teenager finds strength in a community of wise women who share powerful stories and songs connected to their magnificent church-going hats (aka Crowns).” 
The Interfaith Conference and Calvary Baptist Church, the oldest African American Baptist Church in Milwaukee, are co-sponsoring the talkback. The panelists are from faith traditions where women cover their heads at religious services or for other religious or cultural purposes.
The panelists include:
Sheri Williams Pannell – The show’s director and a member of Calvary Baptist Church. Calvary is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches of Wisconsin, and its senior pastor, the Rev. Dr. John R. Walton, Jr., is a member of the Interfaith Conference board and its leadership executive committee. 
Janan Najeeb – A founding member and current president of the Milwaukee Muslim Women’s Coalition
Dana Margolis – A member of Congregation Beth Jehudah, an Orthodox Jewish congregation, and a Senior Lecturer in the Hebrew Studies program at UWM.
Shauna Singh Baldwin – An award-winning Canadian-American novelist of Indian descent who attends a Sikh Temple here
Sister Zipporah Marigwa -- A Roman Catholic School Sister of Notre Dame from Kenya who is studying at Mount Mary University in Milwaukee
Rev. Suzelle Lynch – Minister of Unitarian Universalist Church West, Brookfield, who has created special hats to wear for religious services and other church-related occasions, and who has studied the practice of head covering across faith traditions. The Unitarian Universalist Congregations of Southeast Wisconsin are one of 17 member faiths and denominations of the Interfaith Conference. She also is co-convenor of the Brookfield-Elm Grove Interfaith Network.
Plus the moderator, the Rev. Nancy Lanman, a United Methodist Deacon and chair of the Interfaith Conference's Committee for Interfaith Understanding.
Thank you
