MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Repertory Theater has announced new dates and programming for the 2021/22 season.
It includes 12 productions across four venues in the Patty & Jay Baker Theater Complex. The season will start Oct. 29, 2021 and run through July 1, 2022.
Artistic Director Mark Clements said in a statement that with the COVID-19 pandemic appearing to be reaching its conclusion, they are eager to welcome artists and audiences back to their theater.
“This season we are holding nothing back, and ready to produce at the highest artistic level after being dark for over a year. Soon we will be celebrating the end of the pandemic and the return to the shared experience and thrill of live theater that we have all missed so greatly," Clements said.
