For those of you who are regular readers, you know that First Stage is Milwaukee’s premier theater organization for young actors and young audiences. But for those of you who are new to AIP or Milwaukee and have young people in your life, you need to know about First Stage!
Each year First Stage presents a large number of plays and musicals at two downtown Milwaukee venues. Large stage musicals featuring young actors and adults in the Todd Wehr Theater at the Marcus Performing Arts Center and serious plays by their Young Company (teen actors) and other more intimate presentations in their black box theater in the round at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center. And they also provide classes and training opportunities for young actors through out the year.
This week they have announced the plays that will be offered in the 2024/2025 season. Here is the link to their new season and there are some discounts available at this time…so plan carefully for next season…and pay attention to the recommended ages…many run the gamut from pre-school to forever but a few are for older age groups.
I am so looking forward to Shakespeare’s The Tempest!!!
Offerings at the Todd Wehr Theater at the Marcus PAC:
And at the Milwaukee Youth Arts Center which is just a few blocks north and west of the Marcus:
