The 2008 Benefit Performance

The Wilton Playshop has been a part of Wilton's cultural cornucopia for nearly 70 years, making it one of the longest continuously running community theatres in the northeast (in fact according to an article published in 1968, the 14th oldest community theatre in the country!). The Playshop caters to a wide variety of theatrical tastes with up to five major productions during its season which runs from October to August.

The Playshop is staffed entirely by volunteers and welcomes participation by new members.

The Wilton Playshop is a volunteer organization with a governing Board of Directors. There are generally three major productions presented each year, special events are offered such as membership parties, youth productions, and casino and cabaret nights.

As a community-oriented endeavor, The Playshop is committed to developing new directors and playwrights as a means of preserving this important art form. Backstage involvement includes producing, directing, stage management, light and sound engineering, scenic design, properties, costumes, set construction, and a myriad of other jobs that constitute an energetic community theater. We encourage active participation and we always welcome new faces. No experience is necessary -- only desire and interest!

At the intermission of each performance, audience members are invited into the Green Room for refreshments. Playshop members welcome the opportunity to greet you and speak with anyone interested in getting involved, either on stage or off. Please feel free to make yourself at home! Our Playshop family invites you to join in the excitement that is The Wilton Playshop.
