American Players Theatre Announces 2013 Season

American Players Theatre (APT) announces its 2013 Season, which runs June 8 to October 20, 2013, and includes the first indoor Shakespeare production of the company's history: an intimate adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra by heralded off-Broadway actor and playwright James DeVita and director Kate Buckley, presented in the 200-seat Touchstone Theatre. DeVita, one of APT's Core Company members, recently completed a critically acclaimed run of his solo show In Acting Shakespeare at the Pearl Theater in New York.

In addition to Antony and Cleopatra, APT's flagship 1148-seat outdoor amphitheater Up the Hill will feature Shakespeare's The Two Gentlemen of Verona and Hamlet, as well as W. Somerset Maugham's comedy Too Many Husbands, Tom Stoppard's Hamlet accompaniment Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, and Arthur Miller's great American classic All My Sons. Additional indoor Touchstone productions are Brian Friel's gripping Molly Sweeney and a reprisal of James DeVita's Dickens In America, featuring APT Core Company Member James Ridge.

Located on 110 acres of hilly woods and meadows above the Wisconsin River in Spring Green, Wisconsin, American Players Theatre was founded in 1979 and continues to be one of the most popular outdoor classical theaters in the nation. Tickets are currently available for returning patrons and go on sale to the general public Monday, April 15. Single tickets for APT's 2013 Season range from $42-$68, with special 4-Pack ticket packages starting at just $92 for four tickets to select shows Up the Hill. Ticket and lodging packages are also available at discounted rates.
