WELCOME TO THE NW DISTRICT COUNCIL

The Northwest District Council is an organization of vibrant neighborhood groups working hard to keep this district a great place to work, play, visit, and live. The efforts of our active local neighborhood councils make living here the best it can be, ensuring neighborhood schools, libraries, parks, roads, utilities, and other amenities are maintained and enhanced for the health, safety, and enjoyment of all.

NOW PLAYING AT THE TAPROOT THEATRE:
"Bach at Leipzig"

Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots.

Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations

May 17 – June 15 at Taproot Theatre.

“Imagine the Marx Brothers and Tom Stoppard collaborating on a play,” wrote the Milwaukee Sentinal.
