TheaterWorks Hartford
233 Pearl Street, Hartford, Connecticut

In its newly renovated space, TheaterWorks Hartford continues to stage five or six live theater productions a year, with seasons running from the end of September to the end of June. The 188-seat modified thrust theater—with audience members situated on three sides of the stage—serves, according to the theater’s website, “as a unique ‘hug’ to the shared humanity on stage and in the audience.” Founded in 1985 by Steve Campo, the theater endured the pandemic by going virtual, welcoming an international audience, and by going outside, utilizing the riverfront to bring the community together; TheaterWorks Hartford was recognized by the Connecticut Critic’s Circle for innovation for its efforts during that time.
