Community Arts Access
Overture Center for the Arts is committed to supporting area non-profit organizations that present community performances and events that develop audiences for the arts through high quality outreach and programming. Through the Community Arts Access program, Overture provides rental and equipment subsidies as well as professional advice from Overture staff.
Community Arts Access projects being supported this season include:
RENT
AUG 5 - 8 | Playhouse Theater
Broadway Kidz Wisconzin presents RENT, starring youth from throughout South Central Wisconsin. Relive the show that transformed how a generation feels about musicals, changed Broadway forever and inspired a major motion picture.
Broadway Kidz Wisconzin's mission is to train and educate today's youth through musical theatre, to instill discipline and responsibility by encouraging students to set high artistic and personal goals, and to inspire them to become exemplary artists, patrons and citizens of tomorrow.

To receive Community Arts Access support, proposed events must address aspects of our mission and strategic plan that Overture feels are under addressed or better served through community partnerships.
These priorities are:
- Build relationships with local ethnic communities
- Connect Overture to existing community cultural events
- Leverage the strength of UW programs while building Overture affinity in the UW community
- Play a role in success of relevant downtown and State Street projects
- Position and elevate community events, through presentation in quality venues, particularly those that are free and have low cost
