Performing Arts in Wilmington and the Brandywine Valley
Whether your tastes run to classic music or musicals, to ballet or experimental theater, our performing arts scene has you covered.
Grab tickets for a Saturday night jazz, opera or symphony performance at The Grand Opera House, where OperaDelaware, the Delaware Symphony Orchestra and First State Ballet Theatre perform.
Or take in Broadway hits at The Playhouse on Rodney Square — for rates you won’t usually find on Broadway.
Want to dance the night away to a rock or indie act? The Queen is the place to go. If you’d like to take in a play instead, a performance at the Delaware Theatre Company, a small Riverfront venue, might be just the ticket.
For rarely performed pieces and envelope-pushing topics, grab a seat at City Theater Company or Bootless Stageworks. Alums of The Wilmington Drama League include Aubrey Plaza ("Parks and Recreation") and Keith Powell ("30 Rock").
Delaware Shakespeare (or “Del Shakes” for short) is best known for its outdoor summer performances at Rockwood Park. Del Shakes also puts on a year-round schedule of both ticketed and free public performances.
