Theatricum Botanicum

Topanga, United States

The Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum is an open-air theater in Topanga Canyon, Los Angeles County, California. It was founded in 1973 by American actor Will Geer (who had a master's degree in botany), and is still owned and operated by his family. It is named after the English botanist John Parkinson's 1640 herbal, Theatrum Botanicum. Set in the natural amphitheater of a mountain canyon, the Theatricum Botanicum is traditionally used for performances of William Shakespeare's plays, as well as modern plays and music concerts. The ashes of Geer and his former wife Herta Ware are at the site, along with a bust in Geer's likeness.
