New productions planned by many groups starting March 28 will be re-evaluated about openings and runs according to where the pandemic and the disaster orders stand.

The Milwaukee Ballet has canceled all performances of PUSH. from March 26 to March 29. The ballet will send a communication to all ticket holders for PUSH. during the week of March 16.

Frankly Music’s Monday, March 16 concert has been rescheduled to Monday, May 11. The performance remains at Wisconsin Lutheran College.

Pabst Theater Group has announced a number of postponements:

Jeff Ross and Dave Attell’s Friday, March 13 show at the Riverside Theater has been postponed.

The Milwaukee Art Museum announced that “as of Monday, March 16, all events will be canceled for 30 days—through Tuesday, April 14. This includes Gallery Talks, lectures, docent-led tours, school tours, docent trainings, Junior Docent graduations, exhibition previews, including the Pauline Parker opening, MAM After Dark, Yoga, Color Wheels, Stitch 2-Gather, Easter Brunch, Support Group meetings, and more.”

The Villa Terrace and Charles Allis Art Museums are closed through March.
