FUEL Bootcamp - Mentorship Morning with Kendra Whitlock Ingram

Kendra Whitlock Ingram
Marcus Performing Arts Center

She’s a nationally recognized performing arts leader and the first woman to serve as the Marcus Performing Arts Center’s President and CEO. Kendra Whitlock Ingram took the helm of the world-class performing arts theater in December of 2019 and steered the organization through the pandemic that closed their doors and reduced annual income by nearly 75%.  But the show must go on! Without the usual crowds, Kendra and her team made renovations and technological enhancements to the space, allowing audiences to see shows virtually. In fact, some productions saw an audience boost of 400% because of streaming and on-demand programming.

Kendra has also been forging new partnerships and started diversity and inclusion programming that will expanding the audience, volunteer-base, and on-stage talent pool for years to come. Help us welcome Kendra to Milwaukee and learn more about what she’s learned in her career and how she thinks the arts will continue to shape Milwaukee for the better.
