Report #19 is for Boulevard Theatre. The reporting period begins with Best Brothers in 2023 and runs through their most recent production of Murderers in 2025.

These numbers reflect 6 full productions consisting of 29 total roles for actors. Only actors listed in the adult cast/adult ensemble were considered for this study. As five of their six productions with available casting information were staged readings, we elected to include these in our reporting in lieu of excluding Boulevard completely from this study.

Their casting rate of white actors at 89.7% puts Boulevard Theatre at the second highest rate out of the 13 total storefront companies.

The full report is in the comments below.

As part of the study we want to open our platform to BBIPOC voices to generate conversation and education around diversity on Milwaukee stages.

Our first contributor article is by organizer Adam Qutaishat, a non-binary, multiracial artist and activist who was part of the team who revived the Wisconsin diversity generals in 2020 and is a member of the Diversity Study team.
