The Poetry of Nature

Our Theatre sets a stage of abundance. Its natural splendor stops us, breathless, whether we’re pondering a starlit sky, or diving into a play, wrapped in the thrill of its words and its ways. The stories, the setting, the poetry, the players - they lure us on to this great adventure. Fill us with that euphoric, sun-on-shoulders feeling. 

There are worlds within worlds here, so make the most of your time and explore all that APT has to offer, on stage and off. 

Our Mission

American Players Theatre’s mission is to perform timeless, challenging, poetic texts, with Shakespeare at the center, to the broadest audience possible. We strive to share our understanding that great poetry and stories, both from our past and from the emerging voices of our future, can illuminate the ever expanding experience of what it is to be human.
