Bartell Theatre

Ownership

The Foundation is governed by a board of directors selected in a co-op style arrangement practically unique in the United States. In the Spring of 1994 a small group of Tom Haig, Karen Tusack, Leo and Lee Ann Cooper, representing Madison Theatre Guild, Strollers Theatre, Reprise Theatre, and Mazo R&R, found out about the Esquire, decided they wanted it and set about making it happen.
