open-air theater
Sky-roofed venue
An open-air theater is a performance venue without a roof, where plays, concerts, or films are staged outdoors.
The term evokes classical amphitheaters and summer Shakespeare productions: We saw Hamlet at the open-air theater in the park.
Also called an outdoor theater.
