Next Act Theatre's administrative offices are closed today in observance of Indigenous Peoples' Day. Our ticket office remains open from noon until 5 p.m. today, and our administrative offices will reopen tomorrow. Next Act Theatre recognizes that we live and work on traditional homelands of the Kickapoo, Menominee, Peoria, Myaamia, Potawatomi, Hochunk, and Sioux peoples, and serve a community where members of Wisconsin’s sovereign indigenous nations remain present. by @nextacttheatre

This past summer, @cbs58news anchor @frankiejupiter followed along for the first year of our newly-reimagined summer educational program, Next Actors: The Interview Project. He watched as our students' work grew and evolved, and as they learned the most important lesson of the summer: every story matters. Check out his whole segment on CBS 58's website: it perfectly captures the excitement of this new era for Next Actors! by @nextacttheatre
