The Milwaukee theater scene is as vibrant as ever, but it can be expensive to pay for tickets for the whole family.
Luckily, First Stage last week announced their Pay What You Choose performances for select productions.
Pay What You Choose tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis with a minimum suggested donation of $10 per person.
Doors open at 6:00 p.m. on the day of the performance. Patrons are encouraged to arrive early.
Tickets may be pre-ordered by phone only at (414) 267-2961. To find out how to reserve tickets for community organizations, please contact First Stage at ticketmanager@firststage.org.
