ADK LAKES Theatre Festival
Launched in 2020, the ADK LAKES Theatre Festival has transformed ALCA’s theater programming into a multi-production touring festival. Guided by its mantra, “Taking Arts Throughout the Park,” the Festival brings live theatre to audiences across the Central Adirondacks and beyond. Touring productions include a signature outdoor Shakespeare performance staged in parks and other public spaces. The Festival brings together professional, emerging, and local artists to create and share vibrant work with audiences throughout our region.
The ADK LAKES Theatre Festival is made possible by funding from the New York State Council on the Arts and generous support from business and individual donors.
