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 representing many cultures. These shows present vital issues including recycling, social history, health, the economics and politics of food, illiteracy, homelessness, and other contemporary themes and social issues through large-scale public events and parades. FLOW: The Traveling Water Circus was presented in spring and summer 2011. Read about currently available touring shows and some of MPT's past stage presentations.

Focusing on health and wellness education, MPT artists create and present effective programming for special-needs populations, community health care agencies, seniors, families, teens and children through workshops, residencies, and touring shows. From the Start, Consider the Finish toured 10 venues state-wide in September and October, 2011, including two in Milwaukee. Tap the Potential is a month-long celebration in October of the talents of people with disabilities, featuring an art exhibit and performances throughout the area.
