Theater
in the Woods
EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is famous for
providing entertaining and informative evening programs at the Theater in
the Woods, which is the largest public gathering structure on the grounds.
Supported by M&M’S, the open-air pavilion has seating for 3,500 people
under its spacious roof, while many more have traditionally brought lawn
chairs and blankets and enjoyed the evening's programs from spots adjacent
to the seating area.
Theater in the Woods features a
large stage area, modern lighting, a BOSE sound system, closed-circuit
video monitors through the pavilion and much more. The nightly lineup
can include anything from astronauts to musicians, aviation legends to
EAA award winners. Among this year's special performers are
comedian/ventriloquist Jeff
Dunham on Wednesday night, and actor Gary
Sinise and his Lt. Dan Band, which takes to the stage on Friday.
Theater in the Woods programs
provide the perfect conclusion to busy days on the flight line -
relaxed, informative and entertaining. Sometimes, they even make
history. Nightly programs begin at approximately 7:30 p.m. at Theater in
the Woods and are included with all AirVenture admissions.
