More shows. More variety. Still affordable. All thanks to supporters like you.

Over the past year, Loos Center for the Arts has more than tripled the number of performances we bring to our community—welcoming more audiences and expanding the variety and scale of programming on our stage.

🎭 This season, we brought live opera back with Pirates of Penzance, welcomed audiences for TOBY and Blank Space, and celebrated the holidays with I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas and Christmas in the Air.

🌱 Coming this spring, we continue that growth with:
• Puppy Pals
• Alice in Wonderland
• Frontiers
• Yacht Rock Gold
• Hotel California
• Magic Rocks
…and more to be announced.

💙 How do we keep it affordable?
Support of the Loos Center for the Arts General Operating Fund helps cover essential operating costs like:
• Free on-site parking
• Accessible ticket prices
• Affordable concessions
• Artist fees, production, and venue operations

Every gift, large or small, directly supports live performing arts in Northeast Connecticut and helps keep The Loos welcoming for audiences of all ages.

🎟️ If live performance close to home matters to you, consider supporting the arts today.

🎄 Holiday Fun Fact 🎄

The choreography in Christmas in the Air comes from the same creative mind behind performances with the Radio City Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.

That tradition lives on in this joyful, music-filled celebration arriving in Woodstock tomorrow evening!

The Loos Center for the Arts

The Loos Center for the Arts at The Woodstock Academy is a newly renovated venue, originally built in 1968 under the ownership of Annhurst College, bringing Arts & Culture to the greater CT community. Shortly after the announcement of The Woodstock Academy taking ownership of the space, The Academy received two generous donations; one of which was to create an Art Gallery, known as The Gallery, with the other gift designated to start renovations in the theater. With a “Save a Seat” campaign started, new seating, carpets, and re-painting were introduced to the theater.

In May of 2019, The Woodstock Academy announced that Joan Loos of Pomfret, CT and Naples, FL had made a commitment of historic level, and as a result, The Academy renamed its newly acquired fine arts facility the Loos Center for the Arts. Loos had already established a scholarship in honor of her late husband, August “Gus” Loos who was the long-time owner of Loos & Company, headquartered in Pomfret. The gift used for two purposes. First, it allowed The Academy to update the outdated infrastructure within the facility by replacing the rigging systems, lighting, sound, staging, and more. Second, it established a restricted endowment that directly benefits the programming and capital needs within the facility. The Loos Center for the Arts houses a 1,000-seat theater, The Gallery, a lecture hall, and several classrooms.

Since taking ownership in the summer of 2017, The Academy has made significant improvements through other generous gifts, and has hosted student concerts and musicals, several outside concerts, exhibits in The Gallery, numerous performances presented by both the Performing Arts of Northeast Connecticut and the Three C’s, non-profit meetings, the Woodstock Middle School’s fine arts performances, and multiple conferences.
