Who Are We?

Who We Are

Milwaukee Public Theatre has its roots in a profound belief in the arts as a healing resource that must be available to all people, regardless of age, ability/disability, culture, ethnicity or income level. From our beginnings as a 2-person company of mime/musician/storytellers, we have grown into a multi-faceted outreach arts organization working yearly with over 100 artists from all cultures and arts disciplines and reaching over 100,000 people with highly diverse programming that tours throughout our community and beyond. We aspire to be interactive, thought-provoking and celebrational.

Most of our work is free-to-the-public, AND we pay our artists as professionals. So we seek public as well as private funding and contracts from organizations to make sure we are able to reach YOU.

And YOU can be part of US. We invite you to join us to help make a difference in our community! Please take a look at all of our programming. If you have a need or an event coming up that you would like to brainstorm with us about, contact us! There are also opportunities through this website to tell us what your concerns are, what you’d like to see, what you think of our work, and resources to help reach other organizations that may be helpful to your projects. We are also seeking to develop a volunteer organization that can help us be even more effective.

We look forward to hearing from you!
