TheaterWorks Hartford

Description

TheaterWorks Hartford (TWH) presents contemporary American Theater to an audience of 36,000 in the heart of Connecticut’s capital city. We take pride in our agility, taking the past year’s pandemic as an opportunity to pivot, while still committing ourselves to important storytelling that marks the time we’re in, and engages our audiences in provocative dialogue. Since 1985, TWH has continuously produced quality LIVE theater. During the pandemic, when many theaters struggled to find a way forward we persisted, producing a full season of new, innovative, virtual work. TWH is one of the rare theaters that owns its own building on Pearl Street in Hartford. That foundation allows space for the kind of ingenuity seen in our past season, and many seasons before. Led by Producing Artistic Director Rob Ruggiero, the theater produces 5-6 productions a season in our newly renovated space. Our 188-seat theater invites some of the most exciting plays, playwrights and creative teams to share the intimacy of our modified thrust, which serves as a unique “hug” to the shared humanity on stage and in the audience. Starting in September 2020 we began a digital membership which hosts new work development, unique digital productions, concerts and other content. At TWH we have originated a number of projects that have moved on to commercial success, including: HIGH (Broadway), MAKE ME A SONG (Off-Broadway), ELLA, and RUSSIAN TROLL FARM. We recently began collaborations with the impressive likes of Sarah Gancher, Jared Mezzocchi, James Anthony Tyler, Harrison David Rivers, Awoye Timpo, Mei Ann Teo among others.
