Detailed Information

Sunset Playhouseis a not-for-profit community theater organization, incorporated in 1954. In the 1950s, a small theater group from St. Mary’s Church in Elm Grove had been leading a transitory life, performing in different venues. A building fund drive was launched, enlisting the support of the entire metropolitan Milwaukee area. Eventually the theater group managed to buy swampy land, on which stood an old barn. The newly constructed Sunset Playhouse opened its doors in March of 1960.
