In 2020, members of the Milwaukee Theatre Alliance’s ‘Not in Our House Task Force’ met over the course of several months incorporating their unique thoughts and experiences, and implementing the wisdom from these documents and letters.
The "Not in Our House Task Force" was comprised of Amanda J. Hull, Audwin Short, F. Marvin Hannah, Jaimelyn Gray, Jim Neuner, Katie Cummings, Kennita Hickman, Ro Spice-Kopischke, and Zach Woods.
Four public discussions and revision sessions were hosted by MTA over the months of April, May and June of 2021 via Zoom in order to gather feedback from the community it seeks to serve. We thank these additional artists for their input: Posy Knight, Kirk Thomsen, Steve Decker, Adam Qutaishat, Joy Pouros, Christal Wagner, Alan Piotrowicz, Sarah Wilbur, Doreen Lopez, Tim McCalister, Leah Dueno, and Alex Scheurell
