Trieloff II, Charles Jennings “Jen” MADISON-Charles Jennings “Jen” Trieloff II passed away suddenly on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014 of a massive heart attack. Jen was born in Madison on Oct. 11, 1971.

After graduation, he was involved as a scenic designer, properties master, and visiting artist, at the following theatres: Skylight Opera Theatre in Milwaukee, Madison Opera, Madison Repertory Theatre, Madison Ballet, Forward Theatre, Arizona Broadway Theatre, University of Wisconsin Madison, UW Whitewater, and American Players Theatre. He was a member of the Advisory committee of Forward Theatre, designed the themed reception area for the Children’s Dental Health’s Old Sauk Road location, managed the web site for his father’s tour company and was very active in the Cub Scouts.
