Integrating Theater in Today's World

A program generously funded by the Einhorn Family Foundation

Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Education Department is working with three area high schools to develop lifelong appreciation of the theater arts in our community. Each school has the opportunity to attend four productions of their choice at Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Actors or acting interns from each play lead each class in a pre- and post-show workshop for each play. Students are required to write a theatrical review on each production. A committee at Milwaukee Repertory Theater reads the submitted reviews and chooses one writer from each school to be posted on our website. The winner also receives a gift card for Milwaukee Repertory Theater. Below are the winners for the 2007-2008 Season!
