TheaterWorks Hartford

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.

What an incredible season! Weโ€™re so proud of everything we accomplished together over the last year, and are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this milestone season so unforgettable.

A heartfelt thank you to our 40th Season Partners for believing in our work and celebrating this historic milestone alongside us. Your support made this season possible.

To the casts, creative teams, and playwrights of every show: thank you. Your talent, dedication, and determination to bring these stories to life made our anniversary season truly special. Weโ€™re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with such amazing creatives and to continue supporting new work.

To our TWH staff: your hard work, creativity, insight, and passion never went unnoticed. We could not have made it through this incredible season without each and every one of you โ™ฅ๏ธ

And, last but certainly not least, thank you to our patrons. For 40 years, youโ€™ve shown up, shared in these stories, and supported our work. None of this would be possible without your continued generosity and belief in what we do. Swipe to see what audiences have said about our 40th season!

Heading to see our production of The Cannibals? Make sure to stop by the lobby before the show and explore our gallery space!

The Filing Cabinet brings together works that frame Hartford as a companion setting to the Southern Gothic traditionโ€”a world of beauty, unease, and darkness that echoes the themes youโ€™ll encounter on stage in The Cannibals.

The exhibition is on view through ๐€๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ, and admission is free before each performance ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ
