Our mission is to enlighten, entertain, and educate through the transformative impact of live storytelling. Hartford Stage has been led by Artistic Director Melia Bensussen and Managing Director Cynthia Rider since the summer of 2019. Under Bensussen’s artistic vision, the theater has reimagined classics including Eugene O’Neill’s Ah, Wilderness! which reopened the theater to great acclaim followi

ng the pandemic and brought more work celebrating the Latine heritages in the region, including Quixote Nuevo, the virtual American Voices New Play Festival, Kiss My Aztec!, Espejos: Clean, and Simona’s Search. Hartford Stage has produced various world premieres including the Broadway successes Anastasia and A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (winner of four 2014 Tony Awards), and Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Water by the Spoonful (winner of the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Drama). Education @ Hartford Stage engages students of all ages from across the state through student matinee performances, in-school programs, theatre classes, and youth productions. Education @ Hartford Stage programming reaches approximately 21,000 Connecticut students annually. HartfordStage.org/Education

It takes a village to spread holiday cheer. 🎄✨

Our production of A Christmas Carol features an incredible cast of 46 actors taking on 65 roles, including:

⭐️ 12 Equity actors
⭐️ 10 Hartt School student actors
⭐️ 24 local youth actors

🌟 Fun fact: If Tiny Tim looks a little different the second time you see the show, it’s because our Youth Ensemble is split into two teams, alternating performances. It’s easier for the parents—and for our tiny stars! 🌟

Catch this magical ensemble in action through December 29. Don’t miss out—grab your tickets at HartfordStage.org!

On this Veterans Day, we remember the courage, strength, and resilience of our veterans.

In 2016, Hartford Stage brought Queens for a Year by T.D. Mitchell to life, sharing a powerful story that illuminated the sacrifices, sisterhood, and challenges faced by women in the military. Today, we honor and celebrate their dedication and bravery. 🇺🇸
