#WeRepMilwaukee

Milwaukee Rep is the largest performing arts organization in Wisconsin, typically welcoming 300,000 people at 700 performances of 14 productions a season at the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex featuring three unique performance venues – the Quadracci Powerhouse (720 seats), Stiemke Studio (205 seats) and Stackner Cabaret (186 seats). For over six decades, Milwaukee Rep has been a centerpiece of Milwaukee’s vibrant arts and cultural scene with productions ranging from Broadway musicals to Shakespeare to American Classics and New Works that are entertaining, inclusive and impactful.

Under the leadership of Artistic Director Mark Clements and Executive Director Chad Bauman, Milwaukee Rep creates world-class theater experiences for our audiences and uses education and civic engagement to bring diverse people together for healthy and respectful dialogue around important issues facing us today.

Just like Milwaukee, we’re not what people usually expect. We’re more diverse. More impactful. More modern. From the stage to the streets, the things we do, we do to bring out the best in our region. Our work is representative of Milwaukee’s rich diversity as we aim to be a theater that is welcoming and inspirational to all.

Artistic Director Mark Clements

Sometimes a story falls into your lap that is so good it just needs to be dramatized for the stage. That’s what happened when I read an online article written by playwright Catherine Trieschmann about how she felt she had a “moral obligation” to take over writing and directing her church’s Nativity play, that her own children were involved in, after experiencing one too many cringe-worthy Christmas pageants, some that even involved on occasion blatant product placement moments! Catherine was already working on another commission for us, but I suggested she might have a real winner with this idea. Her response was, “well, if you commission it, I’ll write it” and so that’s pretty much what happened, and here we all are! What resulted was The Nativity Variations, which captures all the hilarity, chaos, and heart of her real-life experiences. But in this case is presented through the lens of a disparate group of community theatre practitioners, led by an avant-garde theater director, who have been commissioned by the Father of a local church to present a new production of the nativity play. Thoughts and approaches, as one might imagine, somewhat differ on this task at hand, on how best to execute this timeless story as the troupe gets ever closer to their opening night. So, let the chaos ensue!

Don’t be misled by the word “Nativity” in the title. Like our production of A Christmas Carol, we aim for this play’s universal themes to be felt as much–or more so–than the origin story itself: themes of the importance of art, acceptance, and communal storytelling; of the need to create communities that will uplift you; and of the restorative power of faith of any kind. And, of course that laughter is one of the best medicines for facilitating such a purpose.

We have our own wonderful troupe bringing this world premiere story to life. We’re delighted to have long-time collaborator Catherine back working with us. Most recently we produced her powerful world premiere play, One House Over, in the 2017/18 Season to great acclaim. Our cast is full of familiar and new faces, a group of talented folks getting to stretch their comedic chops in new and exciting ways. With a play featuring everything from Shakespeare costumes to fake blood to puppets, we’re beyond thrilled to be working with a very fine creative team headed up by nationally renowned director, Shelley Butler, making her Milwaukee Rep debut.

The Nativity story may be new to you, or it may be an integral part of your holiday traditions. Either way, we hope you leave the theater filled with the joy of laughter and the power of stories to shine a light in the darkest of times.

Thank you for your continued support of new plays! We wish you a holiday season considerably less chaotic, but just as joyful as the one you’re about to witness in The Nativity Variations. Enjoy!

Happy Holidays and wishing you all a prosperous and healthy 2023.

Visit Saint Kate for a pre-show dinner at ARIA, then come back for drinks and a stroll through our art galleries. Or, just stay the night. Either way, the fun doesn't have to end after curtain close.

UPAF IS FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS that you are here to enjoy today. We’re for thousands of local artists in the spotlight and behind the scenes. We’re for you — the audience — rediscovering excitement, inspiration and connection. We’re for Milwaukee, Tosa, Waukesha, Racine & beyond. We’re for being together, surrounded by the magic of music, dance, song and theater.

We’re for raising our community up. You’re for the arts too, so please join us to ensure that our world-class performing arts groups make a full recovery.
