Tapestry Theatre Company was formed in 1995 with the idea of keeping the classics alive. That year, we produced Shakespeare's The Taming of a Shrew. Since then, TTC has gone on to produce classical and contemporary works, perform in numerous festivals and feature award-winning original works. In June 1997, Tapestry performed at the Northern Virginia Theatre Alliance One Act Festival and a Judge's Discretionary Award for our portrayal of Longstreet. We also WOW'ed everyone with our condensed version of Twelfth Night -- which was the first time anyone had ever performed Shakespeare at the festival. Tapestry has also been proud to produce a number of plays by local playwright and TTC member Jefferson Morris. He was awarded the Best Original Script and Best Original Production at the 1997 NVTA One Act Festival for his work Promise performed by the Encore Players. In 2003, Tapestry performed The Most Massive Woman Wins at the NVTA One Act Festival and walked away with awards for Best Overall Production and two for Best Supporting Actress.

Throughout the 1970s, the Milwaukee Ballet continued to thrive. In addition to experiencing the arrival of artistic director, Jean-Paul Commelin. In 1974, the Milwaukee Ballet opened the Milwaukee Ballet School, the official school of the Milwaukee Ballet. In 1977, the Milwaukee Ballet began performing The Nutcracker, one of America's most popular ballets, for the first time. It was also during this decade that the Milwaukee Ballet began to showcase its talents to audiences across the country. At the end of a seemingly successful decade, fire struck the home of the Milwaukee Ballet. Though the building was almost completely destroyed by fire, the Carley Development Corporation restored the building to appear as it did in the 1800s as Tivoli Palm Garden, a popular beer garden operated by Schlitz. Today, the studio is well-equipped with four dance studios, a full costume shop, storage for more than 3,000 costumes and administrative offices. As the Milwaukee Ballet entered a new decade, it began to explore opportunities for long-term growth. After a successful decade introducing more than 40 ballets, the Milwaukee Ballet signed an historic agreement with the Pennsylvania Ballet creating a single joint-venture company of dancers, artistic direction, production staff and repertoire. The Pennsylvania Milwaukee Ballet, which required dancers to travel between Philadelphia and Milwaukee, became the only classical ballet company in the United States to offer 52 weeks of work to its dancers. Though an artistic success, the Pennsylvania Milwaukee Ballet dissolved at the end of the 1988-89 season. The Milwaukee Ballet gained new momentum as it entered the 1990s. During this decade Milwaukee audiences were introduced to such pieces as Bruce Wells' Romeo & Juliet, George Balanchine's The Four Temperaments and Lisa de Ribere's Harvest Moon. And, in an effort to commission at least one world premiere every year, the Milwaukee Ballet continued to welcome guest choreographers such as Kathryn Posin and Peter Anastos into its studios. Since 1970, the Milwaukee Ballet has been graced by the presence of incredible artistic talent. Artistic directors such as Yuri Gotschalks, Gloria Gustafson, Jean-Paul Commelin, Ted Kivitt, Robert Weiss, Dane LaFontsee, Basil Thompson, Simon Dow and Michael Pink have inspired three decades of artistic evolution. As the Milwaukee Ballet enters its 35th season, it is ranked among the top twelve ballet companies in the United States. More than 70,000 people see the Milwaukee Ballet perform each year at approximately 45 performances. In addition, the Milwaukee Ballet School is the only professional ballet school in the State of Wisconsin and is comparable to many of the top schools nationwide. The Milwaukee Ballet School serves more than 1,200 students annually at four locations throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. In addition, the Milwaukee Ballet reaches approximately 20,000 people per year through its education and outreach programming.

The Acting Company has been fulfilling this singular mission since it was formed out of the first graduating class of the Juilliard School's Drama Division in 1972. Since then, it has traveled over 500,000 miles through 48 states and nine other countries, performing a repertoire of 77 plays for more than 2 million people. Every year, The Acting Company engages an ensemble of the best-trained, most talented young actors available to perform classic plays and contemporary works in repertory. This enables the actors to gain invaluable experience and develop their craft. A roster of the Company's 263 acting alumni reads like a "Who's Who" of American theater. Lisa Banes, Frances Conroy, Keith David, Gerald Gutierrez, Harriet Harris, James Houghton, Kevin Kline, Patti LuPone, Jesse L. Martin, Mary Lou Rosato, Derek Smith, David Ogden Stiers and Jeffrey Wright stand among America's leading actors and directors whose work in theater, film and television offers proof of the value and versatility of the repertory tradition. The Company has built an impressive repertoire of classic works and modern standards by the premier authors of the European and American stages, from Gorky, Ibsen and Moliere to Brecht, Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams. In addition, the Company commissions and produces original works and adaptations by first-rate contemporary playwrights. This tradition of incubating important new work for the American theater spawned Alfred Uhry's highly-acclaimed The Robber Bridegroom; Orchards, an evening of one-act plays based on Chekhov with contributions by Maria Irene Fornes, John Guare, David Mamet, Wendy Wasserstein and others; and Mud, River, Stone by African-American playwright Lynn Nottage. In 1998, Love's Fire: Fresh Numbers by Seven American Playwrights, an evening of plays and music inspired by Shakespeare's Sonnets, by Eric Bogosian, William Finn, John Guare, Tony Kushner, Marsha Norman, Ntozake Shange and Wendy Wasserstein, played to critical acclaim in both the United States and London. From its inception, The Acting Company has offered innovative educational programs. Doing so makes our performances more accessible to young people, illuminates the core curriculum and helps build the audience of the future. We work with presenting organizations and local schools throughout the year to design and implement the most effective education and outreach efforts in the communities we visit. From time to time, the Company collaborates successfully with other distinguished theaters across the country, sharing costs of new productions and gaining invaluable artistic input. Among these institutions are the Goodman Theater in Chicago, the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, the Hartford Stage Company and Buffalo's Studio Arena Theatre. In recognition of its consistent level of excellence, The Acting Company has won several Obie Awards, Audelco Awards, the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award and two Tony Award, nominations. The Company's long-standing commitment to multi-culturalism is reflected in the diversity of its repertory, ensemble, staff, and audiences.
