Nestled on 12 acres of sprawling, park‑like grounds in Wimberley, Texas, EmilyAnn Theatre & Gardens combines the charm of natural beauty with community‑driven arts. Founded in 1998 to honor Emily Ann Rolling, the nonprofit venue offers year‑round theatrical productions—including beloved outdoor Shakespeare performances—alongside camps, classes, and seasonal festivals like the Butterfly Festival and the Trail of Lights Visitors can enjoy free admission to the grounds (open dawn to dusk) featuring diverse attractions: an outdoor amphitheater with seating for around 400, indoor stages, sensory gardens, memorial plazas, interactive installations like a musical garden and life‑size chess/checker board, and tranquil walking paths dotted with sculptures .The mission—“to reinvest in the dignity of the human spirit through the performing arts, the beauty of nature and community fellowship”—comes to life as families picnic, children play in the gaga pit, and locals gather under the stars to celebrate art and nature together .
