Strollers Theatre
Since 1958, Strollers Theatre has brought you entertaining and thoughtful theater. Critics constantly praise the high quality of acting, the inventive staging and the close-knit audience contact of our intimate productions. Strollers presents traditional fare (You Can't Take it With You, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, The Crucible) , classics (from Shakespeare to Moliere to Chekhov), musicals such as Cabaret and A Little Night Music, and little-known or seldom performed plays like The Weir, The Lieutenant of Inishmore, and Coyote Ugly. Once a very mobile company, performing in venues all over Madison, Strollers performs exclusively at the Bartell Theatre and plans to stay there for a while.
