Call for Theatre & Film Artists
Ridgefield Theater Barn to Host Open House for Area Creatives
Sunday, March 8 | 2–5 PM
The Ridgefield Theater Barn (RTB) invites theatre-makers, filmmakers, comedians, improvisers and storytellers from across the region to a Call for Artists Open House on Sunday, March 8, from 2–5 PM at its campus at 37 Halpin Lane.
Designed as a welcoming entry point into the RTB artistic community, this free open house invites playwrights, stand-up comedians, improvisers, directors, and filmmakers to learn more about the many ways to create, collaborate, and contribute at the Barn.
Throughout the afternoon, attendees will have the opportunity to explore RTB’s current and upcoming programs, including:
- The rekindled Playwrights Collective, supporting new work development
- Stand-up comedy open mic nights
- The RTB resident improv troupe
- The upcoming season of plays and musicals, with opportunities for directors, designers, performers, and production staff
- RTB’s partnership with the Ridgefield Independent Film Festival (RIFF), connecting filmmakers with exhibition, community, and collaboration opportunities
Participants will meet RTB’s artistic leadership and program decision-makers, connect with peers across disciplines, and learn how to get involved—whether by pitching a project, joining a collective, staffing a production, or becoming part of RTB’s broader creative ecosystem.
“This is about opening the doors,” said Executive and Artistic Director Pamme Jones. “We want artists to know who we are, what we’re building, and how they can be part of it—whether they’re new to the Barn or returning after time away.”
The event is informal, conversational, and free to attend. Artists at all stages of their careers are encouraged to come, ask questions, share ideas, and make connections.
