Schuler Shook assisted American Players Theatre with upgrades to the Hill Theatre, a 1,089-seat amphitheatre with a thrust stage. This outdoor amphitheatre sits on 110 acres of woods and meadows.
Hill Theatre
Spring Green, WI
American Players Theatre is a professional theatre that includes the outdoor Hill Theatre and the indoor Touchstone Theatre.
American Players Theatre ranks as the country’s second largest outdoor theatre devoted to the classics.
The Touchstone Theatre comprises an outdoor covered performance space, an indoor rehearsal space, and additional indoor support spaces.
The Touchstone Theatre combines elements of an experimental theatre with those of a thrust stage. This allows for a vast range of productions with superior sightlines, intimate 200-seat audience capacity, and flexible staging area.
Productions are supported by a state of the art lighting and dimming system, a complement of modern dressing rooms, and an appealing lobby overlooking the wooded areas of APT’s grounds. Adjacent to the Touchstone Theatre, and part of the same expansion project, is a new building housing a modern scene shop and rehearsal space.
