Spreading Peace and Building Community

Milwaukee Public Theatre recently received a DHS Minority Health grant to perform Joey's Lunchtime Blues three times and provide six Peace Learning Circles to area schools.

We also are one of six nonprofit organizations under the umbrella of Ripple Effect Milwaukee awarded a grant by the Medical College of Wisconsin’s Violence Prevention Initiative. MPT's Sheri Williams Pannel will work with youth ages ages 5 to 18 to create a theatrework for their peers and families. The Boys and Girls Clubs is the lead agency. Read more.

Artists Among Us

This painting by outgoing Pfister Artist in Residence Shelby Keefe is based on an image from the 2009 All-City People's Parade as part of the series commissioned by UPAF.

The giant octopus puppet expresses the community in action-- moving together toward a common goal. View the timelapse video.

Puppet lead artist: Angela Livermore. Photograph: Pat Kline.

UPAF selected a photo from their Ride for the Arts for the final painting. Cecilio Negron, Jr. leads arts residencies and workshops in Latino history and culture and multi-cultural percussion for Milwaukee Public Theatre. The paintings will be auctioned for UPAF on June 7 at MU's Haggerty Museum.
