Campus #
This campus is in a densely-populated area with limited parking resources, especially for moving trucks and cargo vans, which will not fit in the underground parking ramp. For 2024, we are actively seeking business partners to provide limited parking for trucks, but the solution in 2019 was a remote surface parking lot a few miles away, with a shuttle that runs between the lot and campus. Having extra personnel to assist with the moving truck will be immensely helpful to schools.
We are utilizing the UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts – Arts Center: Theatre, Art, and Music buildings, as well as the Zelazo Center across E. Kenwood Blvd. Nearby are the Union and Mitchell Hall buildings, simply noted as points of reference.
Arrival/Prep #
During your homeroom/prep time, a UW-Milwaukee liaison will meet with you to discuss specific needs. Be prepared at this time to start the cueing process to utilize staff and equipment to the fullest, but do not go to the control booth prior to your set up time since another school will be using the booth. Your liaison will ensure you get to stage and will be on-hand to answer all questions pertaining to technical needs during your set-up time.
Assignment of space is based on: (a). scenery needs and (b). size of cast/crew. We only have so many time slots available in the various spaces, so schools should have the flexibility to assemble scenery on stage for smaller venues.
