The Setting

Setting is a very important component of the Broadway In The Park vision. We want to present shows in an atmosphere that is reminiscent of small-town Americana. This setting will hearken back to a time when life was simpler - and when communities got together for no other reason than to celebrate a warm summer night.

Guests will be greeted by smartly dressed ushers in red vests who take their tickets with a smile. Strings of globe lights will hang between Victorian lampposts providing warm illumination for the festivities. The aroma of cotton candy and fresh-popped popcorn will entice guests inside, while local restaurants offer freshly made box dinners at a reasonable price. Guests can bring their own picnic dinners, of course, and can happily eat while they take in the evening's entertainment.


Broadway In The Park is a program that allows guests to bring their own chairs and sit wherever they like. The park will be divided into three main sections to accommodate different seats: a blanket section in the front, low-back chairs in the middle, and high-back chairs in the rear. All sections cost the same and offer great views. If guests forget their chair (or a warm blanket) they can rent one for a dollar or two. A fourth section will be added, right in the middle of the seating area, for Super Secret VIP's. Anyone can become one. For the higher fee, guests will receive complimentary beverage and dessert service throughout the night.


We believe that the setting is almost as important as the show. Broadway In The Park is about the community and we want to reinforce that by providing a comfortable and happy place where our guests can forget their troubles and relax under the stars.
