She was an important voice for the underdog -an advocate for the elderly and the disabled. She was also a single mom, raising three children while pursuing her career in a male-dominated world. Fran was a fierce activist for women&#8217;s rights and worked very hard to empower women in everything she did. She was a Renaissance Theaterworks&#8217; Board member for many years.<\/p>\n<p>Fran was also a gifted artist. She painted the world through her eyes with incredible spirit and joy in living. Her kind, generous and caring soul, and her funny spirit, touched all who had the good fortune to know her.<\/p>\n<p>Fran passed away in July, 2016, at the age of 79. We miss her deeply! We are overjoyed to honor her memory through the Young Critics Project.<\/p>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>We are deeply committed to Milwaukee&#8217;s future generations of theater lovers! <br \/>Our goal with FBYCP is to foster a new and more diverse group of theater critics.Please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.r-t-w.com\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\t\t\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Education The Fran Bauer Young Critics Project Donate Buy Tickets Account Cart Call: 414-278-0765 The Fran Bauer Young Critics Project (FBYCP) is our arts education program.
