THE VISION
A place in our City where theater, music, dance, and visual arts have a safe harbor and where people of diverse interests share a range of experiences.

This year TheaterWorks dramatically advanced this vision, unveiling a new cultural landmark for our community: “City Arts on Pearl”–a stunning restoration and re-branding of 233 Pearl Street, the architectural gem in Downtown Hartford that we own and cherish. TheaterWorks’ “City Arts on Pearl” has become a new cultural epicenter, now housing the single largest concentration of non-profit arts organizations in the State of Connecticut.

THE PROMISE
A Master Plan to protect, in-perpetuity, TheaterWorks and the arts facility we have lovingly cultivated. This is our promise to the people of this community–to guarantee the future of everything we have built with a longrange legal framework that has real “teeth.”

THE CHALLENGE
Right now, in difficult times, we have a responsibility to both sustain a vibrant, active vision and fulfill our promise for the future. With your help we can do both.

THE NEED
Making a tax-deductible contribution to TheaterWorks is the most important thing you can do to support our vision and guarantee the future of a resource that provides so much good for this community. Click to contribute!

THE SYMBOL
Perhaps you’ve strolled down Pearl Street and pondered the meaning of the banners emblazoned with a lion, a mouse safely tucked between his jaws. The symbol is our gift to this community. It is a reminder of something we all need, especially in times of challenge. It resides in us, but sometimes remains forgotten in the struggles of our day-to-day lives. Nonetheless, it is essential if we are to achieve anything of worth.
Courage.
