May I Bring My Children To The Theater?

At Milwaukee Rep we generally follow the school-age and up rule. Many of our shows have adult themes that may be inappropriate for young children. In general we do not permit those under 7 to attend. However, the production of A Christmas Carol  is recommended for ages 6 and up. Everybody attending a performance must purchase a seat. Babes in arms are not permitted in the theaters. For further information regarding age-appropriateness of any of our shows, contact the Ticket Office at 414-224-9490 or view the play pages on the website.


Do All Shows Have An Intermission?

Most shows at Milwaukee Rep have at least one intermission. On occasion, however, a show may be performed without an intermission. Information regarding these will be found in your performance programs or on the play pages of the website. 


Is There A Dress Code?

Come as you are and be yourself — there is no dress code at Milwaukee Rep. We do ask that you refrain from wearing perfumes, colognes or lotions with strong aromas (your fellow patrons with allergies or sensitivities will thank you).
