Marketing Director

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre

The mission of the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre is to produce intimate, high-quality, professional theatrical works of literary merit that engage and challenge the audience, while employing and nurturing principally local theatre artists.

MCT was co-founded in 1975 by two local actors, Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson, who envisioned a space where audiences could open their minds to new theatrical ideas and Milwaukee's theater professionals could broaden their skills and apply their craft. Since our founding, MCT has fearlessly pursued our mission and is now known as one of Milwaukee’s artistic homes for local talent, a leader in new play development, and, ultimately, the place where great stories are told.
