Now observing its 5th season, Play-by-Play Theatre is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and the first professional regional theatre company in Green Bay. With a vision of mounting musicals and plays in which performers and crew can work along side professionals, Play-by-Play is based on an ensemble approach to theatre -- a highly personal and cooperative method. Play-by-Play is excited to be part of the growing cultural landscape of Green Bay by bringing professional theatre to Northeast Wisconsin, contributing to its future vitality, and by helping to explore the potential of this community.
Our History
In the summer of 2012, six friends were inspired by a passionate dream of transforming theatre in their community. Together they formed Play-by-Play Theatre, dedicated to presenting productions that will entertain as well as touch the heart, reaching out to the abundance of talent in this region step by step, play by play.
