Milwaukee Repertory Theater's Emerging Professional Residency (EPR) is a season-long apprenticeship program that serves as a bridge into professional theatre, with residents working alongside established professionals and learning about the business of theatre from guest artists. The residency page currently lists tracks in Acting, Directing, Education & Engagement, and Arts Management; stage management and costume construction residencies have been offered through Milwaukee Rep's job postings. Residents receive a weekly untaxed stipend, housing in a shared apartment with a private bedroom, transportation, a $200 relocation stipend, professional development workshops, and mentorship; information on 2027/28 residencies is expected in fall 2026.
