Common Grace
“Common Grace’s primary “ministry” is to be part of the daily lives of people in the neighborhood. To do this, Common Grace seeks to provide physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe space for people to learn, gather, worship and create community together.”

Madison Shakespeare Company

StageQ
StageQ is a not-for-profit community theatre–primarily volunteer run–whose mission is to celebrate and advance queer representation through theatre written by and about LGBTQ+ persons. StageQ was founded in 2001 in order to provide a stable home for gay and lesbian-themed plays in the broader Madison community. StageQ is a resident of the Bartell Community Theatre where we produce 3-5 productions annually. We serve as a home for queer artists to tell their stories on stage and allow queer audiences the ability to see themselves and their lives represented on stage.
