Wisconsin Union Theater closes till fall 2014

If all the world's a stage, a Madison theatrical continent is about to slip off the globe. The Wisconsin Union Theater will close this summer for two years of renovation and remodeling. The 1939 streamline moderne venue will be updated in the first stage of the University of Wisconsin Memorial Union Reinvestment project. All five floors of the shuttered west wing will receive a facelift totaling $52 million.
