Insurgent Theatre is a Milwaukee based theatre company founded by Tracy Doyle and Rex Winsome, producing locally written plays and other performance art.
We have been producing bad-ass DIY theatre in Milwaukee since 2003. Always independent local writers, directors and actors. Never compromising to the establishment. Insurgent's goal is nothing less than to take the future of theatrical production (from words, to actors, to audiences) out of the clumsy hands of obsolete bourgeois institutions, one production at a time. Step aside, our revolution is inevitable.

Auditions, Scripts and Performance Dates.
We've got the details. it's complicated, but explained here.

Play in a Day 3! 
We wrote, rehearsed, built a set from scratch, and altogether put on a full length musical in only 24 hours, and it was a fucking good show. This means we are doing things that everyone says should be impossible (or at least gloriously stupid) but... we can do them! Explain that! Must be we're not human, I don't know if we're vampires, or cyborgs, or werewoofs, but we're not human! Right?

Here are pictures and if you dare doubt the veracity of my claims and fail to attend future PiaDs, we will have video evidence soon. You all better recognize: Play in a Day is a spectacle, yes. But not a spectacle like a car wreck, more of a spectacle like a marvel of creativity, endurance and evidence of what a dozen or so insanely dedicated and almost dangerous theatre producers can acheive when they set their minds to it. Here's a review of Play in a Day 3 in the Shepherd Express.

Summer plans have changed.
We've decided to postpone Upua to allow our MN Fringe show and our DIY touring show a local run. Systems and Paint the Town will now be splitting up time slots between July 10th and 27th at The Alchemist Theatre. Details soon.

Call for Scripts!
This change of plans creates a need for a 30-60 minute long play which will be presented alongside Systems. If you've got a script, or want to write a script contact Rex Winsome: rex@rexwinsome.net for guidelines. Script deadline is May 16th. If you'd like a shot at directing this play (whatever it is) also contact Rex at the address above before May 16th. If you'd like to act in this play, we'll be holding open auditions in the last week of May. Thank you.

Cracks in the Floor Reviewed
Russ Bickerstaff calls Cracks in the Floor "a profoundly moody piece that drifts across the stage with a casually dazzling darkness." in his Vital Souce Review. Buy tickets online!)
