OUR VISION:  The Theatre department at MHSA seeks to prepare the next generation of the creative workforce, by nurturing the passion and creativity of our students through creative problem solving, global perspectives, cultivating curiosity and interdisciplinary collaboration while developing expertise in their area of study.

The Theatre Department at Milwaukee High School of the Arts was established along with the other art areas  in 1984, replacing the former West Division High School.

Since then, we have developed a unique, well rounded Theatre Arts education for our students.  

Over their four year high school career, students in the Theatre Department learn Theatre History, Improvisation techniques, Script Analysis, Character Analysis,  Theatre Production & Design skills, practical Theatre Production skills, Meisner Acting Technique, Acting for the Camera, Directing and Film Making.  

We also partner with local companies and Theatre Artists for field trips, master classes, residencies and more.
