Milwaukee Public Theatre

A Word from Our Founder:

Dear Friends,

We would love to involve you as a Friend of MPT for our 2006 Season. Milwaukee Public Theate has continued to reach out to under-served populations since 1974, making the arts accessible with original theatreworks that address social issues and community-building workshops and arts residencies that give people a creative voice.

We now reach over 100,000 people a year, with between 600 and 800 free-to-the public events! The quality of MPT’s productions is widely praised, as are our innovative arts residencies and diverse and multi-ethnic, multi-talented artists.

With all the cuts in arts funding in the schools and the violence in the streets, companies like ours are stretched to the max. We need your help to continue, and to be even better.

Your donation will help us reach our goal of continued outreach. As a Friend we will acknowledge your dedication to improve the lives of people in our community in a variety of ways – as described on this website. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at MPT, 414-347-1685.

Thank you for your kind consideration.

Warm Regards,

Barbara Leigh
