Selig-Joseph-Folz Amphitheater at Kadish Park | Milwaukee, WI
- Cost: $220,000
- Curved structural frame
- Translucent acoustical panels
- Open concrete stage
- Tiered concrete seating
In an initiative designed to bring the diversity of the neighborhood into the park and bring the community together, COA Youth and Family Centers created the free, family-friendly Skyline Music series. The park and the concerts offered a clean and safe place for neighbors to gather on summer evenings to enjoy music, picnics, views of the Milwaukee skyline, and each other’s company. The result was a vibrant urban green space in an area that was once litter strewn and crime-ridden. COA Youth & Family Centers added a sports field, established a summer day camp, created a large community garden space, and added community programming.
"COA Youth & Family Centers was pleased to work with VJS on the construction of the Selig-Joseph-Folz Theater in Kadish Park. While Craig Jorgensen was an active member of COA's Board of Directors, VJS won the project through a competitive process. This was a technically difficult project and VJS worked closely with COA throughout the process to make sure that this project was completed on time, on budget, and to our full satisfaction; and ultimately the theater won two major design/construction awards. I highly recommend their work."
