Up and down this tiny wonder that is Delaware, lies affordable, entertaining live theater. You could sit at home watching them same boring and uninspired tv show, OR, you could be with people you can actually interact with, while enjoying a live theater adventure. So, what are you waiting for? Get out your calendar and fill it with incredible theater.
I've tried to assemble a variety of theaters and their shows for the rest of 2018 (and sometimes beyond) mainly through looking at websites. Not every theater has its season set or has updated its website. I also haven't included certain theaters that have already had a season preview posted on BWW. This by no means is a complete list. I urge you to visit each theater's website to learn more about them and their offerings. Give yourself a challenge, and attend at least one show at a theater you've never been to before. Remember, you can basically cover the entire State tip to tail in 2 hours. You could spend that same amount of time on I-95 and in parking lots going to Philly for an event. ENJOY!
