Actors Theatre of Columbus, Theater organization in Columbus, United States
Actors Theatre of Columbus is a theater organization presenting classical and contemporary plays in an outdoor venue within Schiller Park during summer months. The stage uses the park's natural setting, allowing audiences to experience theater under open skies in a casual, relaxed environment.
The theater company was founded in 1982 by Gary and Patricia Ellson, beginning with a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream in Schiller Park. Since its establishment, the organization has grown into a steady summer programming presence in the community.
The theater organization produces performances of Shakespeare and other classical works, making them relevant and accessible to contemporary audiences.
Performances run from late May through early September and are free for all visitors to attend. Since performances happen outdoors, visitors should bring blankets or cushions and be prepared for changing weather conditions.
The Globe School, the educational branch, offers theater classes and professional internships for students of different ages. This program connects theater training with hands-on career experience for young people in the area.
