Be sure to check out their website and read about their really interesting history! ...Here's a snippet:
The Miramar Theatre was built in 1913 as the Miramar Movie House.It name was eventually changed to the Oakland Theatre, and motion pictures continued to be shown through the late forties.In July of 1954,Drama Incorporated,under the chairmanship of Fred Miller,head of the Miller Brewing Company,entered into an agreement to rent the Oakland Theatre for what would eventually become The Milwaukee Repertory Theater.On September 16th 1954,The Milwaukee Journal announced that the name selected through a "name-the-theatre" contest was the "Milwaukee City Circle".The new name however was never used.Tragically,Fred Miller was killed in a small plane crash in December of that year,and the board of directors for Drama Inc. voted to name the theatre The Frederick C. Miller Memorial Theatre.The Fred Miller Theatre opened its doors january 25th, 1955
