Additional Information

After his time at the University of Wisconsin, he opened a nonprofit bookstore featuring fine arts and small press publications by local artists and writers. He was active in poverty and anti-discrimination movements for communities of color. He developed a Cultural Center that also housed a small international touring experimental theatre company (Theatre X, of which Willem Dafoe is the best known alumnus).

Haupert was named managing director of the company, and in 1979 founded his own management support organization, Arts Services Associates, which provided management and booking services for twenty performing organizations in the upper Midwest. In 1984 as a volunteer, he founded the AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin, Inc., serving as president of the board for five years.
