A full house waits for an American Players Theatre performance to begin.

When APT started back in 1979, the idea of having a classical summer repertory theater performing largely Shakespeare in the woods outside of Spring Green seemed quixotic. Now, 45 years later, the theater is a must on many summer bucket lists in Madison and beyond; it’s truly a cultural institution in the area. The celebration includes music by Alys & the Ark, trivia, demonstrations, favorite scenes, silent and live auctions. Read Sandy Tabachnick’s season-so-far overview and party preview here.

media release: Come celebrate 45 years of Summer! We like to think we throw a pretty good party around here, and you’re not going to want to miss this one.

• Listen to live music featuring APT artists sitting in with our house band for the day, Alys and the Ark.
• Test your APT knowledge at Trivia Bingo, featuring APT celebrity callers.
• Learn what goes on behind the scenes with live demonstrations from APT artisans.
• Bid and win at the silent and live auctions featuring art, experiences, APT artifacts and more.
