The Festival’s inaugural season was the summer of 2022 when A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night alternated performances in Kate Gould Park in front of the iconic Bandstand for two weeks. Last Year we presented the comedies As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing. Approximately 300 people attended each performance. Because of the enthusiastic response to these free public performances and the very generous financial support of Chatham residents, summer visitors and local businesses, we are planning for our THIRD season.
Bring your blankets and your folding chairs and leave your wallets at home because admission is free just like Friday nights with our beloved historic Chatham Band concerts. The performers and the production staff are combination of pre-professional staff, designers and actors from university theatre programs, local talent and a small select group of professional actors.
