Each listed place's page gives the hours, the phone number and the details its sources state. # How a place gets on this list A place is listed when it is locally owned today and would make less sense anywhere else, under the [inclusion rule](/about/inclusion-rule); each page cites at least two sources, and the editor and the [Neighborhood Mayors](/mayors) check new places and corrections [editorial-policy]. # Listed places 2 places listed. ## [Harbor View](https://littlemilwaukee.com/neighborhoods/harbor-view) - [Next Act Theatre](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/theaters/next-act-theatre): Next Act Theatre at 255 S Water ST in Milwaukee, in Milwaukee County. ## [Historic Third Ward](https://littlemilwaukee.com/neighborhoods/historic-third-ward) - [Skylight Music Theatre](https://littlemilwaukee.com/places/theaters/skylight-music-theatre): Skylight Music Theatre at 158 N Broadway in Milwaukee, in Milwaukee County. # On record Little Milwaukee builds each record here from public data, such as City of Milwaukee licenses, and files it under this category.
