Connecticut Repertory Theatre produces under a contract with Actors' Equity Association and serves as a cultural center for Connecticut and the New England region. We believe that theatre provides a place for the community to grow – to wrestle with our most important challenges, and to cultivate our empathy, our compassion, and our connections to one another. As a professional theatre with a teaching mission, CRT fosters the growth of student actors, designers, stage managers, and technicians by including them in productions led by professional guest directors and faculty members, with additional guest artists as performers, designers, and stage managers. CRT presents a wide range of material including world premieres, contemporary plays, classics of the American musical theatre, and great works from the canon of world drama presented with both traditional and experimental points of view. CRT is also the performance outlet for the Department of Dramatic Art's internationally acclaimed Puppet Arts program, the only degree-conferring puppetry program of its kind in the United States.
