ABOUT MACK THEATRE GROUP

In the bustling landscape of Milwaukee County, Mack Theatre Group rises, weaving the arts into the very tapestry of youth development. As a non-profit organization, it embodies a mission driven by passion, purpose, and the transformative power of theatrical expression.

​

Mack Theatre Group champions its deeply resonant motto: "Come do some acting instead of acting out."  This isn’t merely a catchphrase; it's a call to action, beckoning the youth to channel their energy, emotions, and experiences into constructive and expressive outlets. At the heart of their strategy is preventive theater—a proactive approach that addresses societal challenges such as violence, drug abuse, and a myriad of other issues impacting today's youth. Through this medium, they don't just entertain; they educate, heal, and inspire. Every performance becomes a therapeutic dialogue, a step towards understanding and positive change.

In collaboration with the City of Milwaukee's Office of African American Affairs, Mack Theatre Group has fortified its commitment to community enrichment. Their partnership has led to impactful initiatives, touching on key topics like job retention and emotional wellness, catering directly to the challenges faced by Milwaukee's young individuals.

With aspirations fueled by their mission and the potential of garnering additional funding, they aim to explore diverse avenues, from street theater performances to insightful podcasts. These endeavors are visualized not just as extensions of their artistic outreach but as pillars of community interaction and growth. Their envisioned dedicated space represents more than just a venue—it's seen as a sanctuary for the youth of Milwaukee. A place where dreams are nurtured, voices are amplified, and every individual is empowered to reach their full potential.

Mack Theatre Group is not merely an organization; it's a movement. With art as its tool and youth empowerment as its goal, they are tirelessly crafting a brighter, more hopeful future for Milwaukee County's young generation.
