Apple Tree Moves to the Karger Center

Apple Tree Theater is moving to the Karger Center and has signed a two year lease with the City of Highland Park. While we had slated the Karger for demolition after the construction of the new recreation center and the county health clinic, Mayor Michael D. Belsky has led this effort to keep Apple Tree vital and in Highland Park.

I wish Apple Tree all the success and hope the Karger use will allow them time to make long range plans for their future.

Apple Tree was rented the space for basically the cost of maintenance and was given 25 employee permits for parking. Last night I did ask staff if there was adequate parking in the area and was told yes but first come, first served.
