★★★★★Kevin GreeneLove all the groups and staff at MYAC. MYSO first stage, dance works, Milwaukee youth choir, etc.. the building itself is such a treasure for youth artistic pursuits, packed with rehearsal spaces and admin spaces and even a costume shop! It's always buzzing with activity, whether it's acting, yoga, music rehearsals, or shows. Very valuable resource for Milwaukee!
★★★★★Dustin UnderwoodJust a phenomenal space for the students and parents alike. The rehearsal spaces are well thought out for a huge variety of activities from theater to music to dance. For the parents, the spaces to wait are very comfortable from tables to work at to cozier chairs and sofa-ish seats.
★★★★★Kent Tess-MattnerThe home of First Stage, the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra. Danceworks, and many other community arts organizations. Beautiful and acoustically tuned building full of youthful energy. Book or attend an event - you won't be disappointed!
★★★★★Julie SchroederStumbled upon this place on accident as my son wanted to see Romeo and Juliet and I saw they were offering it! My kids found several other shows they want to come back for! Also, love the intimate theater space- great views all around, and can’t beat the price of tickets!
