Thank you for opening up this conversation, which is actually doing some of what we’re in need of—connecting across a wide range of Milwaukee theater experiences—a rare thing, indeed.

I’m not for an award system. Equity vs non-equity, community vs professional—the divisions could and DO abound. Heidi and others touched on this. I can understand the differences between those who make their actual living in theater and those of us who do it as an avocation, but we could do better. For example, the other night some of us participated in a “poetry fundraiser”—an event that brought a variety of local theater performers together . The audience loves these events and I think it’s not just the wonderful poems. It’s the experience of seeing such a mix of actors coming together. No hierarchy, just poetry!
