Touring theatre program
We bring live theatre to your school or organization! Let MYT introduce your community to the art of theatre through age-appropriate, entertaining and exciting productions.
No stage? No problem!
MYT will be producing four touring shows for the 2026-2027 season:
- Miss Nelson is Missing
- The Velveteen Rabbit
- Nancy Drew: Into the Nancy-verse
- A Year with Frog and Toad
General information for all shows
- Cost: $500 or $800 for two performances on the same day in the same space* (morning or afternoon performances available)
- Audience: Maximum audience size is 250
- Length: Programs are approximately 70 minutes and include a 10-minute, guided question and answer session after the show
- Cast and Crew: Our cast and crew is made up of 20+ Milwaukee students ranging in age from 10-18
We can use most any space and will bring everything with us! We bring all sound and light equipment with us. A power source is required. Our actors and volunteers handle the set up (30-60 minutes) and load out (30-60 minutes) of our sets, props and a/v equipment. An average weekday consists of performing at one organization in the morning and another organization in the afternoon. Preference is given to organizations who register for two shows on the same day. Please note that the tours have requirements in terms of space and minimum audience size that we would be happy to talk with you about when you request a booking.

*Reduced Fees: We will never turn away a school for lack of funding. Contact us to inquire about a discount.
Workshops
We also offer workshops based on our touring shows for an additional fee of $50 per workshop. Each workshop is 1 hour and led by an MYT staff member.
Study guides
Our touring shows have accompanying in-depth study guides at no additional cost. Our guides offer suggestions for activities and discussions that meet classroom learning goals.
Our materials can cover:
- Historical background of show topics and settings
- Discussion questions for classrooms or small groups
- Fun pre- and post- show activities, games or crafts
Here is a sample teacher’s guide from a recent production:

Our student actors will bring to life an experience for each child to stretch the mind, inspire the heart and promote education. For more questions about our community shows, email us at contact@milwaukeeyouththeatre.org.
Most of our students have had very limited experiences with performing arts. Seeing performances done by the Milwaukee Youth Theatre children has been a catalyst to getting my students reading outside their comfort zones.
