Rosebud, Times, Avalon theaters set to reopen in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE -- A handful of small, independent theaters are getting ready to reopen in the Milwaukee area.

Lee Barczak bought the Rosebud and Times Cinemas from Anchor Bank after they were shut down five months ago in a foreclosure suit.

The Rosebud, on 68th and North will be open for business by the end of August, 2012. The Times Cinema on 60th and Vliet should open by the end of September.

Barczak says he will be offering healthier food options and has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on renovations to both properties.

Barczak also owns the Avalon Theater in Bayview. That theater is being completely revamped in November, and Barczak hopes to open the theater about a year later.
