      <image:caption>Gail Becker is a distinguished arts leader, Actor’s Equity Association (AEA) professional, and Executive Artistic Producer with a 35-year track record of institutional founding, creative production, and strategic talent development. As a Co-Founder, Managing Director, and Director of Education for Capital City Theatre (CCT), Gail has played a pivotal role in evolving Madison’s professional arts landscape. By spearheading the CCT Conservatory, she has successfully bridged high-level artistic vision with organizational sustainability, advancing the standards for professional training and regional production quality. Her executive oversight is further demonstrated by her 15-year tenure as the Director of the Overture Center’s Jerry Ensemble, where she curates and manages the development of Wisconsin’s premier musical theatre talent. As a producer and director, Gail has overseen a vast portfolio of professional productions at CCT, ensuring artistic excellence across titles such as It’s A Wonderful Life: A New Musical, Murder For Two, Tick, Tick...Boom!, and Edges. Her directorial footprint in Madison further includes Little Shop of Horrors, A Christmas Carol, Shrek, Fiddler On The Roof, Les Miserables, Brigadoon, Annie, Little Women, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, and Anne of Green Gables. This deep understanding of the production lifecycle is informed by an expansive performance career, including a national tour of Babes in Toyland and celebrated Chicago engagements in Chicago, Sunday in the Park with George, Merrily We Roll Along, and High Society. Locally, she has championed new work and regional excellence in the World Premiere of Shining In Misery and the Regional Premieres of Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 and Tuck Everlasting, alongside featured roles in On The Town, Gypsy, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Complementing her theatrical work is a prolific, 30-year career in the cabaret world. A native Chicagoan, Gail was a foundational figure in the city’s cabaret scene, helping to open the legendary Davenport’s Piano Bar and Cabaret. Her sophisticated vocal styling has been featured at premier venues across the country, including New York’s 54 Below and West End Cafe, San Francisco’s The Plush Room, and Chicago’s Park West, Drury Lane Michigan Ave, and The Royal George Theatre Cabaret Room. Regionally, she has maintained a strong presence at Overture Center, SideNotes Cabaret Series at Sunset Playhouse, The Brink, and Portage Center for the Arts. Gail’s influence as a strategic educator and consultant spans the nation’s most prestigious theatrical organizations. Her portfolio of instructional leadership includes the Capital City Theatre Conservatory, Edgewood College, Kennedy Center High School Theatre Workshops, Wisconsin Theatre Festival, UW-Madison Theatre Department, and UW Summer Music Clinic. She has also served as a vital clinician and stakeholder for the Madison Jerry Awards, CTM’s Academy, and the Wisconsin School Music Association (WSMA). Beyond the theatre, Gail leverages her vocal expertise as a voice-over artist, most notably for American Family Insurance, and currently serves as the Public Address Announcer for Rally Madison, Madison Mallards, the Night Mares, and various UW-Madison athletic teams. This unique intersection of executive management, creative production, and community engagement defines her contribution to the modern cultural landscape. gail@capitalcitytheatre.org</image:caption>
