Milwaukee Public Theatre’s work has been acclaimed by audiences throughout the country for its artistry, creativity, diversity and accessibility. Since its inception in 1974 as Friends Mime Theatre, MPT has been one of the very few professional theatres in the state to commit to free-to-the-public programming that makes the arts accessible to all our citizens. Each year the company reaches over 100,000 people of all ages, cultures and abilities/disabilities with socially and culturally relevant theatreworks, large-scale community events and parades, commissioned works for businesses and corporations and educational workshops and arts residencies in all art forms.
