Wolf Trap's productions all take place in America's National Park for the Performing Arts, where the company will fill the stage with musical theatrics and entertain more than 7,000 enthralled audience members on the lawn and in the covered seating area. The lawn seating offers elevated views for downward stage viewing, complete with benefits that chair-bound seating can only dream of. Lawn-based groundlings get to bring their own picnic, complete with any beer, wine, or beverage they desire (except kegs, which are prohibited, and whiskey bongs, which are strictly forbidden by common sense). As you gnaw your way through a dinner of comically oversized turkey legs, lose yourself in the story of a bubbly blond lawyering her way to singcess or the Von Trapps escaping Nazis on the wings of impossibly catchy lyrics. Unlike a musical evening at the Worf Trap, Wolf Trap productions are guaranteed to never end in dismemberment by bat'leth.

Wolf Trap's commitment to being totally rad is equaled only by its commitment to environmentally friendly green-venue entertainment, and thus they are a member and pillar of rigid, righteously upstanding support for the Green Music Group. In this spirit, take the Metro Express directly to the show to avoid being trampled by the Carbon Bigfoot, and garner the sweet, delicious rewards of song throughout both shows with today's Groupon to Wolf Trap.
