Fort Adams State Park, the venue for the performance, is a historic coastal fortification located in Newport, Rhode Island. Construction began in 1824 as part of the First System of American coastal defenses, though the current fort largely represents modifications completed between 1837 and 1851. It’s considered one of the most significant examples of military architecture in the United States and was never actually engaged in combat. The fort served various roles throughout its history, including training grounds and a Coast Guard facility before being opened to the public as a state park in 1967. The park offers expansive views of Narragansett Bay and is a popular location for events due to its historical significance and large open spaces. Its structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
