What does it mean to go "All-In"?
As a nonprofit theatre, we depend on grants and sponsorships from philanthropists, corporate donors, and government entities to fully fund our projects. At MCT, we consider theatre a public good, a civic responsibility, and an investment in community health and wellbeing. ______. To cover the costs associated with our productions, we'd need to sell tickets for an average cost of $60.
What do those costs include?
materials and labor to build our sets; supplies for costumes, props, and other design elements; software and technology for running lights and sound; theatre rental and rehearsal space; and most importantly, living wages for the primarily local artists—the designers, directors, actors, stage managers, and more—that craft these incredible productions.
Going All-In with MCT means choosing to pay the real cost of your ticket. We know! We talk a lot about how much subscriptions can help you save over the cost of single tickets. We want to make sure those savings remain available because they really make a difference for some people. But subscriptions aren't just about discounts. Subscribers make a huge difference to MCT by helping us start each season with a baseline ticket sales number we can count on (and for any of you entrepreneurs out there, you know....). [Helping us predict stable cash flow.] Subscribing means you can plan your calendar in advance and lock in the seats you want while maintaining the flexibility to make changes if life happens. More than anything, subscriptions create opportunities for us to build stronger, ongoing relationships with our community members.
As an All-In Subscriber, you get all the same subscription benefits you've come to know and love, while also feeling the satisfaction of knowing you've ____ [contributed? done your part?] to support local arts and you're helping to make theatre more accessible to those who might not otherwise be able to attend. Plus, we'll send you a special thank you from our artists during one of this season's productions.
When you go All-In as an MCT subscriber by choosing to pay the real cost of your ticket, you help us create a more balanced business model, _____, and allow us to use grant funds to create more hyper-local art. That means commissioning new plays like 2023's HOOPS that tell stories inspired by your Milwaukee neighbors. It means developing and premiering plays like 2024's THE NOT-SO-ACCIDENTAL CONVICTION OF ELEVEN MILWAUKEE "ANARCHISTS" that help us remember and consider Milwaukee's history today. It means creating more _____ roles for local artists that help provide a stable foundation upon which they can build their arts careers right here in our city.
Put your love of local arts into action by going All-In on the cost of your subscription.

HOW IS THE CREAM CITY TICKET DIFFERENT FROM A SUBSCRIPTION?
In a typical subscription you’re renewing into specific dates and seats. This model provides more flexibility – you can choose to come on ANY date and sit in ANY seat, as long as there is availability. You aren’t beholden to things like days of the week, and you can still exchange your tickets with ZERO fees or upgrade charges. PLUS, if you love a show, you can come see it again. In fact, a Cream City Ticket gives you unlimited access to come back as many times as you want!
WHAT IF I HAVE 2 (OR MORE PEOPLE) I SUBSCRIBE WITH?
Each person must have a Cream City Ticket associated with their name to enjoy this unlimited access, so a couple who always attends together should consider purchasing two Cream City Tickets. However, if your guests attend infrequently or you prefer to switch up your dates, CCT holders will have unlimited access to discounted companion tickets.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT MY OLD SEATS?
If specific seats are a priority for you or your group, we recommend the traditional 5-Play Subscription package where you have the option to retain your seats year to year. Prefer the Cream City Ticket? We are happy to help select similar seats for you. We’ll confirm your dates and seats, and you can always switch to different ones if you’d like!
We are here to answer any and all questions you may have about what option is best for you!
Milwaukee Chamber Theatre is committed to creating a safe environment for theatergoers, artists, and staff in accordance with government guidelines and statues in effect at the time of a performance.
