Program Offerings

Original and Adapted Theatreworks

Milwaukee Public Theatre creates highly acclaimed theatreworks that celebrate our uniqueness and challenge us to reach our potential. Since 1976, MPT programming has included free-to-the-public musical/vaudeville/ circus productions featuring artists of many cultures. Touring Milwaukee parks and public places, these shows present vital issues including the economics and politics of food, illiteracy, homelessness, health
and other contemporary themes and social issues through large-scale public events and parades.

Special Events & Custom Programs

Superb quality, unique themes, thorough planning and skilled execution hallmark an MPT special event or custom program. Working with you directly or with your planning professional, MPT delivers an entertainment experience that will meet or exceed your expectations. Featuring a wide array of solo and ensemble musicians, actors, dancers, performance artists, street performers, and variety entertainers, MPT develops and produces programs for all audiences and ages at your choice of venue and facility – indoors or outdoors, in staged or strolling formats, featuring any culture, theme, and period of history.

May the warm winds of Heaven blow softly on your home, And the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows, And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder.
