HARTFORD STAGE

Hartford Stage, founded in 1964, is nationally and internationally known for challenging and entertaining audiences with the best of world drama, ranging from the classics to provocative new works. Hartford Stage has continued to pursue those goals of theatrical excellence. In the theatre's original 225-seat home on Kinsley Street, founder and Producing Director Jacques Cartier presented seasons ranging from Moliere to Beckett to Genet, establishing Hartford Stage as a major cultural resource for greater Hartford. In 1977, Hartford Stage moved to its present home, the 489-seat John W. Huntington Theatre, designed by Robert Venturi, allowing Hartford Stage's expanding audience to experience the company's work.
