The Theatre in the Woods

American Players Theatre resides outdoors beneath the stars in a setting of extraordinary natural beauty atop an emerald hill near the village of Spring Green, Wisconsin. Each summer from June through the first weekend in October, five plays are performed in repertory.

The amphitheater is situated in a naturally acoustical bowl ringed by towering trees with thrust stage encompassed on three sides by 1,148 comfortably cushioned seats.

Prior to each show, hundreds of folks arrive to picnic on the grounds, which include 110 acres of woods and meadows.

Gravel walking paths lead up to the Theatre from the free parking lot. There’s a shuttle bus for those who prefer to ride, as well as concessions and air-conditioned gift shop in the picnic grounds and up the hill in the Theatre.
