Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum

Theatricum Botanicum is a natural outdoor sanctuary for the arts that has been delighting visitors for nearly five decades. Lovers of Shakespeare, socially relevant plays, botany, California history, music, and arts education alike find community in this truly special place. Theatricum is a unique space where the beauty and trials of humanity are thrown into striking relief against the incredible back drop of Topanga Canyon’s lush and rustic natural surroundings.
At Theatricum, education is more than just classes and workshops; it’s about fostering values like inclusion, community, collaboration, and creativity. Through our Academy of the Classics, we offer a range of programs for youth, teens, and adults, including classes, field trips, and enrichment activities. Our goal is to provide lifelong learning opportunities that inspire and engage students of all ages, introducing them to Shakespearean language, theater techniques, American history, and the power of their own voices. We aim to empower students with confidence, critical thinking skills, and a passion for the arts, cultivating a lifelong appreciation for language, history, and art.
