This is an outdoor theater. Take a blanket or lawn chairs and a picnic and enjoy live theater or music. The best months are March through June, but the Shakespearean Festival is in late July and August. If you wait until they release the unclaimed seats, you can probably sit in the chairs under the ceiling fans.
