THE CONSTRUCTIVISTS ANNOUNCE
CAST AND CREATIVE TEAM
FOR FOURTH ANNUAL
A VERY DEADLY CONSTRUCTIVISTS HOLIDAY (WITH MUSIC!)
Season nine's dark holiday comedy returns to the Broadway Theatre Center with a new ensemble, a new set of sketches, and the same refusal to be merry on schedule.
MILWAUKEE, WI (November 11, 2026) | The Constructivists announce the cast and creative team for A Very Deadly Constructivists Holiday (with music!) (2026), the fourth annual installment of the company's dark holiday comedy. The production runs December 18 to 22, 2026 at the Studio Theater in the Broadway Theatre Center, 158 N. Broadway, Milwaukee, WI 53202.
Conceived and directed by Artistic Director Jaimelyn Gray and written by Patrick Schmitz with Various Artists, Deadly Holiday is an original work that changes every year. It takes the season's forced cheer and lets it fall apart with sketches, songs, and holiday chaos built by the artists in the room. The unorthodox holiday tradition is in its fourth year the second production of Season Nine.
"It's always a joy to bring our version of holiday programming to Milwaukee. I think this fourth year will be just as dirty and dark as previous years, but maybe just a little more comfort zone pushing," says Gray.
The Cast
The 2026 ensemble features Company Member Liz Ehrler as Envy and Associate Artists Autumn Green as Pride and William Molitor as Ghost, joined by Layne Eklund as Wrath, Libby LaDue as Gluttony, Maggie Marks as Lust, Morgan Daniel Gates as Greed, and Tess Cinpinski as Sloth. Hayden McCullough and Larissa E. Beckman serve as swings, and Riley Luettgen also serves as a performer and Music Director.
The Creative Team
Artistic Director Jaimelyn Gray directs, with Associate Artist Logan Milway as Assistant Director. Mia Palmer (Stage Manager) and Emily Harris (Assistant Stage Manager) round out the behind-the-table team. Company Members Sarah Harris (Set Designer) and Les Zarzecki (Set Construction) will be joined by Cat Sadler (Scenic Assistant) and Anjl Rodee (Scenic Painting/Design Team) to complete the set design crew. Becky Cofta (Costume Design), Eamonn Stone (Lighting Design), Ev Ponder (Sound Design) and Danny Gomez Sandoval (Props Master/Designer) complete the design team. And as always, keeping the actors safe are Associate Artist Laura Sturm (Movement and Intimacy Choreographer), and Company Member Nicole Magnusson (Violence Choreographer).
