Marcus Center for the Performing Arts

 
We are pleased to announce that we have secured a new date for the Broadway Bash and the event will now take place Thursday, September 17, from 6-9pm at the Marcus Center.

As a nonprofit whose mission is to connect to our community, we would like to express our gratitude for your understanding of the significance of the postponement.

This new date is the Marcus Center's true 50th Anniversary and we appreciate your attendance as we commemorate our 50 years of serving the community!
 
Serving as the Marcus Center's annual fundraising appeal, funds raised through the Broadway Bash support our mission of fostering diversity by connecting communities through the arts, and preserving the Marcus Center for generations to come.

This year's event format will be a completely new drive-in style gathering, with a virtual component, where guests will enjoy the Broadway Bash, presented by Johnson Financial Group, from in their vehicle on the rooftop of the Marcus Performing Arts Center parking garage overlooking while overlooking the Milwaukee skyline.

This uniquely, socially-distanced format will keep guests safe while gathering to show their support for the arts.

A three-course meal will be provided to each guest, packaged individually and provided via contactless delivery to each vehicle as you arrive to the parking structure. Beverages will be provided upon arrival in a station available to each vehicle. For the safety of guests, all beverages will be individually packaged and an assorted offering will be set up for each vehicle.

Thanks to the generous support of our dessert reception sponsor, CG Schmidt, Inc., a packaged assortment of desserts and additional beverages from local businesses will be dropped off to each vehicle during the Chester Gregory Viewing Party.

At this year's Bash, we welcome Broadway showstopper Chester Gregory, who will treat attendees to an exclusive, on-screen presentation of his Motown favorites.

Virtual tickets are also available and include digital access to concert, auction, and curbside pickup.

Guests will be asked to adhere to safety protocols and wear masks at all times when outside of their vehicle.
