In 1959, at an age when most people think about retiring, Alverno's Sister Laura Lampe set out on an entirely new project – creating what was then the Society of Fine Arts and what is now known as Alverno Presents. Thanks to Sister Laura, Alverno Presents has turned the stage of the Pitman Theatre into a cultural crossroads and brought world class artists to Southeastern Wisconsin over the past 50 years.
Alverno Presents, Milwaukee’s longest-running performing arts series, is proud and excited to celebrate its 50th anniversary this year! Our 09/10 Season video offers a taste of the outstanding artists who are joining the party.
