One of the most anticipated annual events in downtown Hartford, the Pratt Street Salsa Socials bring the Hartford-area community together for a night of unforgettable salsa dancing.

“Renaissance Gyal” explores the ways in which Black women have set a precedent for culture in America, while simultaneously being erased. Through each movement, song, and monologue, the piece tells the stories of those of Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx, Afro-American, and African heritage who have come to make America home.

This event series is intended to serve multiple purposes: to establish Hartford Stage as a welcoming civic destination for the downtown area; to cultivate our institution’s relationship with local artists; and to grow our theatre’s audience by increasing the public’s familiarity with our space.

The Living Room blends regional musical artists with the Greater Hartford scene for a contemporary concert experience, in classic TheaterWorks style.

A theatrical play, "Re-Writing History in Kaleidoscope" will consist of spoken word oral history, poetry, and monologues accompanied by music and dancers, directed by, Michael Green.
