Welcome to Legacy!
“The idea of turning this historic theater—where Orson Welles used to perform with his Mercury Players—back into a contemporary theatre for actors, directors, designers, and writers to create new works and revivals is a reason to applaud, celebrate and support. With its breathtaking setting, in such close proximity to New York City – artists will be clamoring to work there. I will certainly be one of them.” — Joey Murray, NYC-based Stage/TV Director

About The Legacy Theatre
Unity and Community
Legacy Theatre has, since its inception, offered, held and presented programming to and in all communities. The theater has intentionally sought out Black and Brown and other marginalized community members as participants, consultants, board and staff members, as well as featured players, and will continue to do so.
But what else can we do? As a public gathering space, as a space where creative expression is welcomed and encouraged, we invite the input of our community in continuing our quest toward a diverse, equitable and inclusive artistic vision.
Please connect with us at info@LegacyTheatreCT.org to participate in this very important conversation...
The Legacy Theatre is a professional theatre company that enhances the Connecticut Shoreline's economy, educational opportunities and quality of life through live theatre and related programs. The Legacy strives to be a premiere Arts house and to ensure ongoing seasons of uplifting, inspiring, and challenging professional theatre and theatre training for all.
