Most of the area theatre companies take a break over the summer months, when everyone would rather be outdoors and soaking up the sun, but there are a few whose season only coincides with Wisconsin's warmest months, and they bring their performances outdoors with an almost exclusive focus on the most famous of playwrights: William Shakespeare.

...

​For those willing to travel just a bit further, one of the best outdoor theatre experiences in Wisconsin is just outside of Spring Green at the American Players Theatre. APT has multiple productions, both modern and classic, throughout the summer on two different stages, one outdoor and one indoor, but they never fail to perform at least one of Shakespeare's plays. This season, APT has selected two by the Bard: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM and THE WINTER'S TALE. The APT season opens Saturday, June 7th and runs through Sunday, November 23rd.
