The American Folklore Theatre is an outdoor theatre located smack in the middle of Peninsula State Park in Door County, Wisconsin. The theatre hosts musical plays with local influence which are appropriate for all ages AND according to the Egg Harbor Business Association and firsthand experience... pets are welcome at outdoor summer performances!
While there we took in Victory Farm, a musical comedy about cherry growers during World War II and German prisoners of war who work together to harvest the cherries. I had no idea that German POWs were brought over to help farmers harvest their crops, so the show was a learning experience. Door County is known in Wisconsin for it's numerous cherry orchards and this production was warm hearted and funny.
It was a beautiful night in the lower 70s and not a mosquito in sight (although the theatre does provide bug spray for a $1 donation). Patrons wore casual attire as most were campers and day hikers. Seating is general admission and tickets cost us about $12 with our camper's discount. If you aren't an overnight camper, tickets cost $19.
While the show was cute, we were distracted by the beautiful golden retriever sitting two rows in front of us. He was perched right on the wooden bench like a human!
