Broadway Theatre Center

The Broadway Theatre Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, houses two distinct theatres and is host to a dynamic collaboration of theatre companies.

Description

Broadway Theatre is located in the gentrified downtown Historic Third Ward District. The building was designed by Ringer & Son with a decorative commercial style architecture and built in 1907. It was converted in 1993 from a warehouse and now contains the 358 seat Cabot Theatre, a replicate 18th century Italian Baroque style opera house, along with the more versatile 90 seat Studio Theatre.

Currently, the Broadway Theatre Center is home to the Skylight Opera Theatre, Chamber Theatre, Renaissance Theaterworks, Milwaukee Shakespeare, and Bialystock & Bloom Theatre. The now defunct experimental theater company Theatre X also performed at the Center, until its demise in November 2004. In 2006, another experimental theater group, Alamo Basement, performed a unique theater stunt by conceiving, writing, rehearsing and performing an original full-length play within 24-hours at the Broadway Theatre Center.
