Opportunity Snapshot

Overview: Renaissance Theaterworks (RTW), Milwaukee’s only professional theater company dedicated to gender equity, is at a historic turning point.

With the planned retirement of its co-founding Artistic Director, Suzan Fete, after 33 seasons of bold leadership, RTW is seeking a visionary new Artistic Director to carry forward its nationally recognized legacy. This is a rare opportunity to lead a debt-free, mission-driven theater into its next era of daring artistry, community connection, and sustainability.

The Artistic Director will join a deeply committed team of artists, staff, and Board members who have collectively advanced RTW’s pioneering role as a champion for women’s voices and inclusive storytelling. The next leader will bring creative courage, collaborative spirit, and a passion for equity to one of the nation’s oldest gender-balanced theaters.

Compensation: Competitive salary and benefits package, commensurate with experience.
