You will be able to experience world premieres of musicals and plays across the state of Wisconsin including Door County in 2023.

Northern Sky Theater, Forward Theater Company in Madison, and Milwaukee Repertory Theater began planning the World Premiere Wisconsin festival in 2019. Their goals of building relationships between theater-makers, raising awareness about the fine arts scene in Wisconsin, and encouraging the production of new works took on even greater importance when the COVID-19 pandemic shut down theaters for months. Several theater companies across the state including Northern Sky Theater, Peninsula Players, Third Avenue PlayWorks, and Door Shakespeare are participating with hopes of more joining in as World Premiere Wisconsin gets closer to its March 2023 launch date.

Northern Sky Theater Assistant Artistic Director Molly Rohde says it has been an exciting process to be a part of as they raise awareness for the great theater-going options in Wisconsin.

More details on the festival will be released in the coming months as theater companies prepare for their 2022 seasons.
