For a theater to have a successful community engagement and outreach program, it starts with executive leadership, planning, and organizational buy-in. Hear from three Artistic and Managerial leaders on the process at their theaters including successes and challenges at various stages from pre-planning to program development to implementation and analysis. Moderated by David Mallette, Principal of Management Consultants for the Arts, which led the strategic planning process resulting in the creation of Mpact at Milwaukee Repertory Theater.

Milwaukee Repertory Theater presents the Intersections Summit livestreaming on the global, commons-based peer-produced HowlRound TV network at howlround.tv on Friday 23 March and Saturday 24 March 2018.

This spring, Milwaukee Repertory Theater will host the Intersections Summit, a national convening for community engagement practitioners in regional theaters across the country. As large arts organizations add community engagement departments and practices to their institutions at increasing frequencies, the Intersections Summit will be a platform for reflection, inquiry, and collaboration.

At the heart of the Intersections Summit is the recognition that community engagement efforts constantly intersect with the work of others—with colleagues in other areas of our organizations, with organizers and leaders in our communities, with donors, trustees, audiences, and artists. The Intersections Summit is an opportunity for practitioners and supporters of community engagement to name the tensions and the strengths that occur at these intersections, to build collective capacity across institutional and geographical borders, and to envision a future for community engagement in the American theater.
