About Bartell Theatre
Bartell Theatre is a charming small community venue that hosts modern and innovative plays that matter. The theater has two spaces, including an upstairs theater with general admission seating and friendly staff. The space is clean and welcoming, with a simple snack bar offering drinks and snacks. The theatre accommodates handicap needs with a lift to access the front row, which has wheelchair and companion seats. Parking can be challenging, with ramps a block away and limited front spaces, but drop-offs are possible. The staff, mostly volunteers, are friendly, though the experience can be a bit chaotic at times. Audience members enjoy a variety of performances, from intense plays to offbeat attractions like the Acrocats Cat Circus. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early, especially if using the lift, as it is slow and popular. Overall, it’s a great place to experience local theater and unique productions in a cozy, community setting.

The facility has several small theater spaces, making it an ideal host to varied local companies. I saw a Madison Shakespeare show and it was high quality.

Such a cute community theater, that supports all! Very intimate setting! Can't wait to see another show here.
