Save Our Stages: Organized effort to rescue live performing venues nationwide shuttered during pandemic centered in Milwaukee

 

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Films can be live-streamed, restaurant food carried out, shopping done online, but the communal feeling and shared energy between a crowd and performer on stage cannot be replicated. From concerts to dance, Broadway and opera, the live event world has been hit especially hard by the pandemic.  

But now stage and theater companies are coming together under one banner in an effort to save live performing arts venues for the future.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Mike Strehlow joined Pabst Theater Group CEO Gary Witt to shine the spotlight on a campaign that's rooted here in Milwaukee.
