Shakespeare in the Arboretum celebrates over 25 years of delighting summer audiences!

Since 1994, the New London-based Flock Theatre has presented "Shakespeare in the Arboretum" during July and August. People, picnics and blankets cover the amphitheater's grassy slopes and the Arboretum pond makes a perfect backdrop for enjoying these marvelous productions.

Flock Theatre usually presents two productions in the Arboretum. You can also follow Flock Theatre on Facebook.  

All shows start at 7 p.m. - tickets at the gates.
 
Due to the pandemic, Summer 2020 - 2022 performances in the Arboretum were canceled. We plan on welcoming Flock Theatre back next summer.
