Did you ever wonder what it takes to produce and perform a live play? Especially one outdoors, on top of a hill, in the middle of a woods? What is needed to get the scenery ready, how does that movement that seems so smooth during the play take place? What equipment and mechanical devices are used? Who makes the costumes? Where do they get the props?
Want to find out? Well then, join us on Tuesday, September 20, 2022, for a "behind the scenes" tour of the American Players Theatre. Well informed guides will take us backstage at the Hill Theatre, the Touchstone Theatre, and all the shops that make everything needed to produce a play – the wood shop, the costume shop, the design shop, etc.
THIS IS A "SELF-DRIVE" TRIP
COST: $34.00 per person and includes the tour, tips, and box lunch
