When Core Company Actor Kelsey Brennan was an apprentice in 2008, she experienced what may have been a visit from beyond during a late night rehearsal of Romeo and Juliet. Join her as she revisits that dark night on the Hill stage. PS If you visited us for "If These Trees Could Talk," this story may sound eerily familiar.

There are just two more weekends left to join us for "If These Trees Could Talk." The upcoming weather looks beautiful, and, with so few of those weekends left, and so few safe entertainment options available to us, this is the perfect time to visit Spring Green. As one patron told us, "I loved the combination of prose, poetry and storytelling while walking in nature. It filled up my tank!"

Core Company Actor, Writer and Creator Melisa Pereyra was integral to making "If These Trees Could Talk" the beautiful meditation that it's become. In this recent interview, Melisa gives us a look behind-the-scenes of APT's newest adventure.

Isabella Star LaBlanc is a stage and screen actor, a writer, a poet and an activist hailing from Minnesota. And while she's working with us for the first time, she is not new to APT. Read more about Isabella below, and get your tickets to "If These Trees Could Talk" to experience some of her work.

We've received a lot of excited notes from folks who are heading to APT to experience "If These Trees Could Talk." Within those emails, there were some questions that came up often enough that we thought we ought to address them, including the difference between the Daylight and Starlight routes; Accessible Tours and Drive Ups; facilities and picnicking and more. 

We're so excited to launch our "If These Trees Could Talk" events this weekend. In honor of this momentous debut, we wanted to share some of the other lovely and unique shops, restaurants and attractions in the Spring Green area that would pair well with your visit to APT. We've all been cooped up just a little too long. Now is the perfect time take in a Driftless autumn, and to take advantage of the time we have left before the snow blows. For more information, including deals from local businesses, visit our Dine, Shop, Explore page before you head our way. And if you haven't yet, make sure and get your tour tickets.

Yesterday we shared the exciting news APT will be offering a taste of what we've all been missing this summer - a walk in the woods, accompanied by the Core Company actors, and a few other talented friends. We chatted with Artistic Director Brenda DeVita on how the idea for the tour was born, how it evolved and what to expect on your walk in the woods.

In honor of the start of this very unusual school year, we chatted with Core Company Actor and Education Director David Daniel on the pivot toward online learning, and what APT has to offer teachers and students this season.
