Is American Players Theatre Worth the Drive (and the Hike)?
The American Players Theatre in Spring Green has kicked off its season and we’ve got the full theater lineup for you! For Must See Madison, host Bianca Martin talks with Cap Times food and culture editor Lindsay Christians to dig into this season’s plays: “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” “Fallen Angels,” “Picnic,” “Death of Chuck Brown,” “Anna in the Tropics,” “Tribes,” and “The Winter’s Tale.” They also talk about accessibility at the theater, tips for attending, what to do if it rains, local food and hotel options, and everything in between.
