Friends of Caponi Art Park,

2010 marks the 10th Anniversary of the Theater in the Woods amphitheater. Keep your eyes peeled for the announcement of our season lineup of events, including special activities to celebrate the "tin" anniversary of the theater.



We want to know: What is your favorite or most memorable Theater in the Woods experience?

Think back-- maybe it was a particular music concert on a beautiful evening or perhaps watching your child roll down the grassy bowl of the amphitheater. We will be collecting a list of the "10 Favorite Theater in the Woods Experiences" and posting them in an upcoming newsletter.

Please share your favorite Theater in the Woods
