MILWAUKEE — WTMJ’s Sandy Maxx joined TMJ4 News At Noon on October 2, 2025, with details on the very uniquely Milwaukee festival called QWERTYFEST MKE details and what’s particularly special about Skylight Music Theatre’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof” opening this weekend.
Are you surprised to learn that the practical typewriter and the QWERTY keyboard were invented in Milwaukee in the 1860s? QWERTYFEST MKE is an annual three day celebration of that innovation.
Learn much more in these podcasts with each of the festival’s co-creators, Molly Snyder and Tea Krulos.
One of the most special aspects of Skylight Music Theatre’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof” is the inclusion of one of the Violins of Hope in each performance. Learn more in this Cast Party conversation with performers Andrew Varela and Kimberly Hanson.
