We May'd it! On May 19, we closed out our 2025-2026 Season with May'd in Milwaukee: a season celebration and fundraiser! At MOT, we are especially proud of our local identity, so we chose to feature Milwaukee artists and businesses for the evening. With their help, we were able to raise over $10,000!

We would like to give a huge thank you to our sponsors, Carol & Kevin Schuele and Cathy & Mario Costantini, our host artists the Golden Girls and Tenors MKE, and all of the vendors and donors who have contributed to this year’s fundraiser, including: Dragon’s Sandbox, La Tarte, Mark Frohna Photo, Cecilia Davis, Kelly Doherty and Doug Clemons, Jenni Yolo Home, Purse String Productions, Skyline Boat Company, Square One Art Glass, and Blick Art Materials.

And of course, none of this would be possible without all those who have made this season special, either as MOT performers or supporters! We can’t wait to share our next season with you.

We are so thankful for the wonderful community that has formed around MOT, who give what they can, no matter the amount. There is still time to donate to our 2025 - 2026 Season Fundraiser! Donations can be made online at https://milwaukeeoperatheatre.ludus.com/fundraiser.php?id=5054

Tommy Hahn, Tim Rebers, and Andrew Varela (aka Tenors MKE) are sure to hit a high note with Janna Vinson on keys as the performers for the evening at May'd in Milwaukee!

With their collective experiences on Broadway, in opera houses, on concert stages, and of course a handful of MOT shows, they blend multiple styles into one spectacular package, mixing their signature humor with harmonies and original vocal arrangements.

Tickets are still available! Head to milwaukeeoperatheatre.org/buy-tickets to be part of the fun!

One last feathered fan wave goodbye to Follies in Concert! Heartfelt thanks to everyone who made our one-night-only performance an evening to remember. Both the performance and the event around it became a reunion of beloved theater folk, and we loved seeing you all!

Our 2025 - 2026 Season Celebration and Fundraiser May'd in Milwaukee is all about embracing the community MOT calls home, featuring local artists and businesses. Today, we'd like to highlight Dandy, our venue for the evening! You may recognize this vintage store/event space from our 2024 production of Alcina or last year's fundraiser. We're thrilled to be returning to this unique, funky spot!
