SnapShot Press Release | I AM MY OWN WIFE
Sunday’s [January 25th, 2026] Milwaukee Chamber Theater’s performance of I Am My Own Wife challenged the record of validation with Jonathan Riker’s performance, taking us through memory, transcript, audio recording, historical narrative, and analysis all at once. Jonathan is Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, as they are John Marks [the American Journalist], Tante Luise [Charlotte’s aunt], a Stasi Agent, Alfred Kirschner [Charlotte’s friend & possible love], Karl Henning, Pradeep Gupta, and the list goes on and on. The play asks us to imagine how a trans woman [Charlotte] could survive Nazi Germany. The terror of inhuman practices of the time, mixed with the social scrutiny of anything outside of cultural dictatorship [sound familiar?], it seems inconceivable. And yet, Charlotte lived.
In this issue, we explore Vision. From our professional practice, we use vision as a tool to navigate the aesthetic world, playing with the complexities of that faculty. “What does it feel like to have the ability to think about the future, plan for unrealized opportunities, or see alternative ways to approach what is? For some, this appears as clairvoyant. CopyWrite itself was born from envisioning a conduit that supported the local community through creative endeavors. But the gift of vision is not an isolated ability. It manifests itself in so many others forging innovation, redefining ingenuity, and has produced hope by seeing beyond “states of matter”, taking paths less travelled [& others plunging head-first into the unknown].
