MKE MVP - Submit for NYC Auditions

Milwaukee Repertory Theater is seeking Equity actors for roles in MKE MVP.
SYNOPSIS: From the creator of the sold-out hit Dad's Season Tickets, comes a World Premiere musical comedy that celebrates the unforgettable championship journey of the Milwaukee Bucks through the eyes of a close-knit group of lifelong fans. From the arrival of a franchise-changing MVP in 2013 to the final buzzer in the Summer of 2021, the glorious end of a 50-year wait reveals how one extraordinary season, one electrifying talent, and the exceptional people around us can make a lasting impact on our lives. Joyful, funny, and full of hometown pride, this musical captures the soul of our city when its team took the world stage.
