Creating, sharing, and supporting open art.

As a professional company whose roots began with outdoor theater, each work we create is a careful consideration of story and space. With each story, we offer the gift of a laugh, of imagination, of time spent with family and friends. Join us as we explore the art of storytelling out in the open — from traditional tales, to classic works, to original productions.

SPECIAL EVENTS

EXPLORING ART

CURRENT SEASON


Theater in the Open is a national treasure. As an artistic space the company’s work is on par with that of global theater leaders. As a center for community and education I have never seen another place like it. I grew up at Theater in the Open [and] now work as a theater-maker and researcher internationally and I can tell you that in all my years working in Moscow, London and Sofia, I have found very few theater groups that are so successful at inspiring civic responsibility in both audiences and artists.
