TheaterWorks Hartford The Official page of TheaterWorks Hartford! Think of the hottest, most current plays and actors on the theater scene.

Now imagine seeing these plays and performers - not in a huge, impersonal venue - but in a gem-like 200 seat underground theater where the farthest seat is only eight rows from the stage. That's what TheaterWorks in Downtown Hartford is about. It's the most up-close-and-personal theater experience you'll ever have.

"There is an idea in physics that between forms, nothing is really touching; I press my hand to your hand, and it is only the electrical resistance pushing my atoms away from yours that results in the sensation of touch. ๐„๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ฌ ๐“๐จ๐ฎ๐œ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  inverts this perspective through a cosmological lens, drawing from the interactions of universal forces like time, light, and entanglement to propose a sense that within the matrix of infinity, everything is entwined in continuity and shared identity." - Brianna Bass

Curated by Peter Albano, this exhibition is on view Oct 8 - Nov 8, 2026. There will be an opening reception on Wednesday, Oct 14 at 6:30pm + a meet and great with the artist!
