The Gerald A. Bartell Community Theatre Foundation today announced the hiring of Judy Karofsky, a Downtown Madison activist, as Managing Director of the Bartell Community Theatre to secure their position in Madison's burgeoning arts scene. The Bartell Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1994 to create a cooperative performance venue. Six Madison-area theatre companies govern its affairs. Sensenbrenner, and Former Madison Mayor Joe Sensenbrenner and the Evjue Foundation, the charitable extension of the Capital Times.
All spaces are handicap accessible and available to rent for shows, presentations, and meetings.
Karofsky earned a master's degree in Real Estate and Investment Analysis from the University of Wisconsin-Madison Business School. She sees her new position as asset management and development. Now, it's time to recognize the potential of the theatre's Downtown location and appreciate the value of the property. We've received significant help from the Overture Foundation, but to assure our future in Madison's promising cultural environment, we have to achieve financial stability. Karofsky, who was Middleton's Mayor in the late 1970's, has lived in Madison since 1993.
