    All Access Performance

    Milwaukee Rep is pleased to present a sensory-friendly, all access performance as part of our production of Little Women on Tuesday, February 6, 6:30pm. We value the chance for everyone to see themselves at Milwaukee Rep and experience the art of live theater in a positive and enriching way.

    This All Access performance is for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed theatergoing environment. This can include, but is not limited to people with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, dementia, autism spectrum disorders, learning differences or challenges. However, the performance is open to everyone.

    We are grateful for the generous support of UPAF’s Kasey’s Fund for giving us the opportunity to expand our accessibility to the Milwaukee community and for our partnership with Pink Umbrella Theater and Stepping Stone Educational Services to make this performance possible.

Seating is general admission and tickets are just $10 plus tax and fees for this specific performance.
