Milwaukee Repertory Theater is pleased to welcome West Bend Mutual Insurance as the new presenting sponsor of A Christmas Carol in the historic Pabst Theater for the next three years. A Christmas Carol is a timeless tale of hope and redemption that has been a mainstay of Milwaukee Rep for more than 45 years, playing to over 1.5 million people, making it the Greater Milwaukee’s favorite holiday tradition.
“West Bend Mutual Insurance is a proud supporter of our local arts community and we’re thrilled to help bring to life Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s production of A Christmas Carol,” said Kevin Steiner, president and CEO of West Bend Mutual Insurance. “Milwaukee Rep is a vital cornerstone in the local performance arts community and its annual staging of this holiday staple always promises an entertaining showcase of its top- class talent and production assets. We’re looking forward to a happy holiday season at the Pabst Theater later this year.”
Adapted by Artistic Director Mark Clements, A Christmas Carol is one of the best-known and loved stories in the English language. During the course of one memorable Christmas Eve the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future help Scrooge discover it is never too late to change his miserly ways. Enchanting music, dance, costumes, scenery and special effects will once again fill the theater to tell this timeless tale of love, hope and redemption.
“We greatly appreciate the support of our new A Christmas Carol sponsor West Bend Mutual Insurance,” said Executive Director Chad Bauman. “Their commitment to the performing arts community is invaluable and exemplifies the lessons we can all take away from the Dickens’ classic.”
Tickets to A Christmas Carol are currently available for purchase to Subscribers and Group Sales. Single Tickets go on sale in July.
