American Players Theatre (APT) is an outdoor classical theatre located in Spring Green, Wisconsin, 40 miles west of Madison. APT is situated on 110 acres of woods and meadow in the hills above the Wisconsin River where it winds through the valley to the Mississippi. Taliesin, architect Frank Lloyd Wright's former home, is just down the road.
Since its beginning in 1979, APT has grown in popularity to become the second largest outdoor classical theatre in the country.
The natural beauty of the great outdoors is an integral part of the APT experience. Picnicking in the woods is popular before and between shows. There are hiking trails and two walking paths leading up the hill to the theatre. A shuttle bus is available for those who would rather ride.
