This summer, M&M Performing Arts and Red Monkey Theater Group introduce open-air theater in the Palm Court of the Greenhouse at Lyndhurst. Enjoy the fresh summer air and a wonderful Shakespearean performance with your family or friends. The company will perform As You Like It alfresco under the stunning metal skeleton of the Lord & Burnham 1880s gothic greenhouse. All the world’s a stage as the characters in Shakespeare’s classic comedy As You Like It navigate politics, injustice, love, and gender identity. Meet at the Palm Court to see if love really can conquer all!

Performances, beginning promptly at 6:00 pm, will be open to the elements and performed on a weather-permitting basis. Performances are 90 minutes without an intermission. At 6:00 pm, the audience will gather in front of the greenhouse and proceed to the Palm Court, where seating will be provided.

Picnicking is an important part of the outdoor summer theater experience! Your ticket includes early access starting at 4:30 pm to a specified picnic area adjacent to the greenhouse. There are no picnic tables on the premises, and the chairs are for the theater performance only. You are welcome to bring low-profile tables and chairs, a blanket, and an umbrella for shade.  Feel free to leave your picnic gear in place (umbrellas closed) while you watch the performance. Please clear your dinner area as you exit, as picnicking is carry-in, carry-out. Tents, open flame, and BBQs are not permitted.
