Like many in the Milwaukee Theatre Community, we are disappointed that the Milwaukee Generals could not go as scheduled due to the weather. It was a difficult decision, but ultimately safety must come first. As a company run by and for working actors, we know how much time, care, and effort goes into crafting an audition and how disappointing it can feel to lose that opportunity. We encourage those slated to audition to submit a video audition. Vanguard Milwaukee promises to view every virtual submission to the Milwaukee Generals for consideration for our upcoming season. We look forward to seeing your work, and hope to see you at the theatre very soon.

We're proud to say that Vanguard MKE will ring in 2026 as a non-profit theatre company! Our 501(c)3 application has been approved and this means that Vanguard can now take in larger donations, apply for grant funding, and continue to grow our mission of producing contemplative and thoughtful works of theatre in Milwaukee. Thank you to our board members, patrons, and volunteers who have stuck with us all these years and made this major milestone possible. We hope to see you at the theatre in 2026!
