Theatre Garden

The Theatre Garden is a stunning park located in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, United States. The centerpiece of this Italian-style outdoor garden theater is the stage framed by towering trees and clipped arborvitae. Since its debut in 1914, the Theatre Garden has hosted countless performances of all kinds, from musical acts to military bands.

When the stage is not in use, the show goes on with delightful fountain performances throughout the day. The 750 illuminated jets colorized with 600 lights create a magical experience under the stars. The underground dressing rooms allow for large productions to take place in the midst of the formal Gardens.

The Open Air Theatre has hosted over 1,500 performances, featuring national standouts like Martha Graham, Rufus Wainwright, and Wynton Marsalis. The venue's 1,500 seats provide a comfortable setting for guests to enjoy a variety of performances.

The Theatre Garden is a place where the community comes together to enjoy the exuberant sounds of the stage. From classical performances by the Philadelphia Orchestra to contemporary acts like Jesse & Joy and Leslie Odom Jr., the Theatre Garden has a rich history of entertaining audiences.

Visitors can enjoy the water features of the garden from mid-April until early January. During the holiday season, the fountains are illuminated with over 600 lights for A Longwood Christmas.

Founded by Pierre S. du Pont in 1914, the Theatre Garden has been a beloved institution for over a century. Inspired by the villas of Italy and France, the Theatre Garden continues to delight guests with its unique blend of theater and spectacle.

Whether you're watching a performance or simply enjoying the beautiful surroundings, the Theatre Garden offers a unique and unforgettable experience for all who visit.
