The Dukes Outdoor Theatre

The Dukes outdoor theatre extravaganza returns with an epic whirlwind adventure, Around the World in 80 Days.

Follow Phileas Fogg around Williamson Park, as he races against the ticking clock.  Explosive encounters await in a journey of romance, trickery and shenanigans, as this adventure of a lifetime introduces Fogg to all of the sights, sounds, smells, food and cultures of the people around the world.  As Fogg learns that travel not only broadens the mind, it changes your life.  

Join this incredible race around the world by trains, boats, elephants and balloons.  An epic whirlwind adventure for the whole family.

The Dukes has been entertaining generations of families with the summer promenade shows since 1987, attracting more than half a million people.  Last year's park show sold out so grab your tickets now to avoid missing out.
