The Marcus Center Turns 40
"Milwaukee's Memorable History of Performing Arts" by Charles Grosz
The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts, a venue that has hosted artists ranging from Bob Hope to Bob Marley, from Alvin Ailey to cast members of Zorba the Musical, turned 40 in 2009.
In addition to top-flight symphony music and theater productions, the Marcus Center boasts an impressive, varied history, including a concert featuring 25 tuba players all dressed in Santa Claus outfits and the largest gathering of clowns and mimes ever assembled in the United States.
It’s also the only house in the world where Rudolf Nureyev was streaked by a naked man who jetted across the stage.
The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts is owned and partially funded by Milwaukee County. The Marcus Center is a 501 c 3 non-profit corporation that operates the Center for the citizens of Milwaukee County. Staff are employed by the corporation, which is governed by a 25-member Board of Directors. Seven members of the Board are appointed by the Milwaukee County Executive and confirmed by the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors.
The Center annually receives both operating and capital dollars from the County, through its annual budgeting process. In 2008, the Center’s allocation for operations is $1,280,000—about 29% of the Center’s operating budget. The Center also received a capital allocation of $200,000 for 2008, for the purpose of replacing the Bradley Pavilion moveable wall system (originally installed in 1969) that enables the room to be subdivided for multiple uses.
