The Modjeska Youth Theater Company was a nonprofit theater company based out of the Modjeska Theater on 12th and Mitchell in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The theater put on shows that were performed and crewed solely by students. The program served also as an outreach and afterschool program for inner city kids.
The Modjeska Youth Theater is no longer in operation. Financial difficulties brought on by building maintenance and a decrease in audience attendance eventually became this company's demise.
The Modjeska Theater is still in use, but no longer as a youth theater.

“Some fluctuating notions concerning repentance, virtue, honor, morality ... hovered around Lady Dellwyn’s thoughts but were too wavering to bring her to any fixed determination. She became a constant attendant from one public place to another, where she met with many mortifications. But yet even these were not quite so dreadful to her as to retire and be subjected to her own company alone.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
