Brandywiners Performances at Longwood Gardens

Because of its founders, and the generosity of (Uncle) Pierre duPont, The Brandywiners have enjoyed its longstanding partnership with Longwood Gardens by performing annually in the Open-Air Theatre since 1932. With the exception of four years during World War II, and two years, (2020 and 2021) due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all other performances have been held at Longwood. The 1942 show was performed at the Wilmington Playhouse. Shows from 1942–1945* were performed at the Wilmington Drama League.

We are proud of our tradition of excellent productions with full orchestra, and the service this provides to the Brandywine Valley.
