Authentic Theatre Ensemble, or THE Theatre, was recently established in 2020 to bring exciting and thought-provoking theatre to Central Wisconsin along with arts-based community engagement. We are in the process of becoming a fully recognized 501c3 not-for -profit performing arts, educational, and community awareness organization.
EMANCIPATION REFLECTION PROJECT
THE Theatre is committed to improving the world around us and has created an activity to encourage self-reflection and continue the important work of the Black Lives Matter movement.
