Company Overview
Renaissance Theaterworks was established in 1993 by five women working in professional theater, who recognized a gender imbalance within their industry; Renaissance Theaterworks was founded by Suzan Fete, Marie Kohler, Raeleen McMillion, Jennifer Rupp, and Michele Traband. They sought to correct it by producing excellent theatrical work while actively promoting the careers of other women in professional theater.
Mission Statement
Renaissance Theaterworks’ (RTW’s) mission is to create moving theater that awakens our recognition of what it is to be human—from classics to world premieres—with attention to women’s roles onstage and off. RTW is Milwaukee’s only women-founded, women-run theatre company.
Located in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward, RTW produces intimate and moving theatre in the Studio Theatre at the Broadway Theatre Center.
