Description:
The Everett Theatre is home to a scene in the film where Keating (Williams) accompanies his students to watch their friend Neil Perry (Robert Sean Leonard), an aspiring actor, play Puck in a production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream.”
Middletown's St. Andrews School was home for the bulk of the film's shooting, portraying the fictional Welton Academy in Vermont. Old New Castle also gets plenty of screen time with private homes, Delaware Street and Gunning Bedford Middle School each hosting film crews. A home in Wilmington's Westover Hills neighborhood was also used, among a few other locations in the state. The water where actors were seen rowing in the film is called Noxontown Pond and it's still used by the private school's boys and girls crew teams.
