The Festival's inaugural season will be the summer of 2022 when A Midsummer Night's Dream and Twelfth Night will alternate performances in Kate Gould Park in front of the iconic Bandstand. Performances will be the last week of July and the first week of August, Monday through Friday.

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 will be a combination of pre-professional staff, designers and actors from university theatre programs, local talent and a small select group of professional actors.
