From May to August, Delaware Theatre Company hosts an outdoor performance series featuring performers from Broadway, Hollywood and Delaware.
Prepare for a summer like no other as Delaware Theatre Company hosts its 2020/21 season—Take 2 with an outdoor performance series showcasing Hollywood, Broadway and regional performers.
“We launched an outdoor series last summer. We called it Front and Center with 10 performances,” says Matt Silva, the managing director for Delaware Theatre Company. “Early in the pandemic I watched a Dave Chappelle special on Netflix where he did a big event in this open field in Ohio, and I saw that they had spray-painted physically distanced boxes on the grass. Everyone wore masks, brought their own chairs and things like that. I thought, ‘Well, we can do this in the parking lot,’ so we did. We were able to get 58 boxes there—39 boxes for two people and 19 boxes for four.”
