You'll hear from Jack Benny, Orson Wells, Burns and Allen, Ed Wynn, Marlene Dietrich, The Bickersons, Baby Snooks, Our Miss Brooks and many more. The show features the talents of the region's finest actors including: James DeMarco, Joshua Ives, Eric Jolicoeur, Tony Palmieri, Johnny Peifer (all from New Britain), Abby Auden, Heather Auden (both from Colchester), Denise Clapsaddle, David Sousa (both from Torrington) JoAnn DeWind (Berlin), Barbara Gallow, Miriam Neiman (Newington), David Macharelli (Waterbury), Kelley Mountzoures (Plainville), Deborah Thaler (West Hartford) and Dianne Zabor (Canton).

HITW will be transformed into a magical wonderland with elves taking pictures with Santa Claus for Frozen Fever. It promises to be a fun night filled with face painting, hot chocolate, meet-and-greets with Santa and performances from Elsa and Anna. This is the last Friday before Christmas, so it is the perfect time to remind Santa that you've been a good boy or girl.

About Hole in the Wall Theater:

Hole in the Wall Theater (HITW) has been a leader and beacon in the Greater Hartford arts community since 1972. It is an award-winning, non-profit community theater and staffed entirely by volunteers.

HITW was founded by Ray Shinn and Ted Guhl; both of whom were instrumental in the theater's mission and longevity. It is HITW's goal to present theater to all regardless of resources. Unique in its creation as well as the manner in which it was run, HITW was the only theater in the state to run solely by its members through its biweekly gatherings, termed "General Meeting." General Meeting is responsible for choosing the plays presented, maintaining the physical plant, and creating, revising, and upholding the philosophy by which HITW was run.

Over the course of four decades, the theater has seen many homes throughout New Britain including Oak Street, North Street, Harvard Street, and its current home on Main Street. Despite its location, the philosophy of presenting Quality Theater to everyone remains the same.
