FOUNDATION Education & Engagement Center

In our brand-new center for Rep Education & Engagement, we will be able to broaden and deepen our programs and achieve greater impact in the communities we serve, welcome our partner organizations and Milwaukee residents into our downtown home. Below is a snapshot of the programs that we currently offer that will benefit from the new Education & Engagement Center.

Reading Residencies

An in-school program that uses theater as a tool to teach reading comprehension and develop social-emotional skills to Milwaukee middle school students.

School Subscriptions

A subscription program that brings Milwaukee high school students to Milwaukee Rep to see four productions across our three performance spaces.

Next NarrativeTM Monologue Competition

Created by True Colors Theater in Atlanta, GA, this competition gives students the opportunity to deliver powerful, contemporary monologues from modern playwrights and compete for cash prizes and a trip to NYC to perform in the national competition.

Dinner Dialogues

Surrounding specific shows in our season, patrons have the opportunity to have impactful and relevant conversation on the themes of the production while breaking bread and enjoying delicious food and drinks.

Rep-in-Depth

Free pre-show discussions with actors and artists providing the audience with further history and context for our productions.

Rep Immersion Days

Middle and high school students come to Milwaukee Rep for behind-the-scenes technical demonstrations, private performances, and actor talkback sessions surrounding productions in our Powerhouse theater.

All Education & Engagement programs are guided by our Community Impact Partners, 13 organizations who work with Milwaukee Rep to create greater collective impact. Each season, we collaborate with more than 100 non-profits, social services agencies, educational institutions, and arts organizations to ensure we’re meeting the needs of our community. Rep Education & Engagement programs are an integral part in achieving our mission to ignite positive change in the cultural, social, and economic vitality of our community.
