Insurgent Theatre is Participating in:

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.

Online debate: theatre in Milwaukee. Jonathan West has turned the last few weeks of his blogs existence with MKE magazine into an online debate about the milwaukee theatre scene. A debate that Insurgent's Rex Winsome is at the center of. Go to Artsy's Blog and get invovled!

Auditions Complete! Shows cast! We've got cast confirmed for the Systems companion shows. We also had some interesting developments in the tech areas. We are happy to announce that Kurt Hartwig will be doing set design and construction for Paint the Town, and that Kelly Korducki, Becky Tesch and Amy Turk are on our tech team for both, or either of the shows.

A Decision Has Been Reached!
We have decided to produce not one, but two companion peices to Peter J Woods' Systems. The scripts are: Russ Bickerstaff's Please Wait Ten Minutes and John Manno's This is Entitled: This is Entitled. Appologies and thanks to the other playwrights, and we hope to have the opportunity to produce your excellent submissions in the future.

We chose Russ and John's scripts because both are short, meta-theatre peices almost directly derived from Systems itself, and both are really good. When we imagine them bookending Systems it just looks like a perfect little family of dysfunctional theatre, about theatre, about the futility of existence, and I realize that might not sound like a very good time, but it is! The scripts are all very funny and educational. Here's more details.

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.

STREET THEATRE: Insurgent Theatre brings our theatre action to you. Theatre in the streets, in your face, no holds barred, no punches pulled, and we've got the bruises to prove it. Our blog, The Army of the Arts chronicles the actions.
