American Players Theatre Welcomes Another Season with Nine Productions in Spring Green

Anne Siegel, Shepherd Express

With Wisconsin’s soggy spring firmly behind us, we can finally turn our attention to summer. In Spring Green, Wis., home of American Players Theatre for almost the past half-century, APT has been in “summer mode” for a while now. The activities surrounding the theater in late spring/early summer consume more than 200 artistic-minded folks: actors, play directors, production designers, carpenters, lighting and sound experts, seamstresses (all those costumes!), wig makers, stagehands and what-have-you.

Only a relatively few of these talented people will remain after the opening curtain rises on the first production. Then it’s off to the races for a series of nine productions that have various starting dates between June 9-November 10.

In addition to the plays listed below, a 45th anniversary celebration has been announced for July 21 from 1-4 p.m. The ticketed event ($25) will be a big party, featuring music, food and related festivities. Please note that theater tickets for that day are not included. Tickets to June 21 performances must be purchased separately. More anniversary event details will be announced closer to the date.

Here is a schedule of productions by month to help plan your summer. Performances are held in the large, outdoor Hill Theater, and the more intimate, indoor Touchstone Theater. Tickets to all performances (except for some sold-out shows, see below) are available now. Contact americanplayers.org for tickets and information.
