Two years ago today, an artistic legacy was both destroyed and created. On one hand, the American Shakespeare Theatre was lit ablaze, but in the heat of that flame was reborn the Phoenix that is the American Globe Center. When the original London Globe burned down in 1613, the King's Men, Shakespeare's company, built back better with the 1614 Globe. We will do the same.

Can't believe a year's gone by so fast, but it's our one year anniversary of the Phoenix Festival! While the Stratford Arts & Culture Festival was unfortunately canceled this year, we do have exciting news!
The team behind the Phoenix Festival has been working behind the scenes to propose a plan for the Shakespeare Grounds - you can get more information at The American Globe Center and Stratford Playhouse. Please check it out!

The Phoenix Festival is dedicated to enriching Stratford's culture, tourism, education, and arts heritage by revitalizing the Shakespeare Grounds. We believe that the Center School development should also support these same ideals. If you want to make sure that the Center School site is a thoughtful, mixed-use development that includes retail, open space, and opportunities for our community to thrive, please sign this petition.

What a great article on the continued growth of Stratford, discussing our diversity, value, great schools, economic development, AND the Phoenix Festival, celebrating our deep connection to Shakespeare and the arts! Congrats to our town leadership!

Considered by some ‘the most affordable town in Fairfield County’ — and one of the most diverse — Stratford also offers nearly 18 miles of coastline.

This Sunday night into early Monday morning commerorates the one year anniversary of the arson that stole our landmark theater away from our community. If you have a chance to stop by the grounds Sunday night or Monday and have a quiet moment of reflection, you may find some members of the Festival team paying their respects.

This Thursday, at 6PM the town will be holding a public meeting at Town Hall to kick off the rebuilding efforts. Please come and make sure your voice is part of the rising of the Phoenix. ❤️ to all, good memories and hope for the future.
