Quasi-Productions is proud to announce its production of Henry V, Shakespeare’s final chapter of the Hundred Years’ War between England and France. Audiences will witness the transformation of former prank-playing scoundrel Prince Hal into triumphant war hero King Henry V, one of England’s most beloved—and shortest lived—national heroes.

Bucketworks is a hub for Milwaukee's creative people during the day and night each day of the week. We want to strengthen and anchor our presence in the community by making sure our resources--and our building--are sustainable. Using Bucketworks for your events--whether you charge admission or don't, whether you have a large budget or don't, is one of the best ways to support Bucketworks.

The Bucketworks crew (Jonathan, Kevin, Jenn, and James) brought two Wikibots to Mad Planet last night to capture and live-stream the Radio Milwaukee Music Awards Party. You can watch the archived videos here:

One person starts the process. They select another person, or rotate their hat twenty degrees, and start thinking about the other people they need. Sometimes they send a message to many, many strangers (using a newspaper's classified ads section, or the internet) inviting them to a brief interview. Sometimes they invite people they know from past experience.

I've been going through some of our historical archives, and I wonder what you think of some of our past designs for the Bucketworks logo.

This is the original design, from June of 2002.­
