Milwaukee Repertory Theater
- Performer, within last year
Had a really fantastic experience working with the Rep and their team! Their power is their people - the crew, admin team, creatives, etc...they've found the perfect balance of hiring a lot of people who are both great at their jobs and cool to be around. Really high quality shows and lots of really great folks. I'm sure they're not perfect in all ways, and I worked there when they were doing a lot of renovation work so things were a little chaotic, but the heart is there and I felt heard and respected 100% of the time. Great housing, very professional, nice spaces and I loved the city in general. HIGHLY recommend working here!!!

Look, LORTs are too big for their britches and don’t know how to be equitable, ethical companies. The Rep is no exception. The Rep pretends to know how to be “ethical” and “sustainable” and “inclusive” (so their RepForward plan states) but is, in fact, as old school and hierarchical as they come. The turnover rate is absolutely abysmal, the higher ups don’t respect any new ideas, and they allow department heads who have been there for years to continue to demean and disrespect those who work under them. Oh, and the wages are trash. What a surprise. Might be a great gig for actors but for those who have to work in the 37 year old office spaces with no windows for people who don’t respect, hear, or care for them? Not ideal. PS, damn I have missed a gig and tell moment! Thanks for making this.
