Join host Frank Rizzo for a forward-looking talk with Connecticut’s newest theater artistic directors. Melia Bensussen, of Hartford Stage, and Jacob Padrón, of New Haven’s Long Wharf Theatre, will talk about their Tony Award-winning theaters, plans for the future, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and their innovative plans for bringing new audiences into the theater without losing the established ones that have supported their institutions for decades. This free event will take place via Crowdcast; register here! Registrants will receive an e-mail with instructions for taking part.
