A.C.T. of Connecticut

 A.C.T. (A Contemporary Theater) of Connecticut is concluding its eighth season in Ridgefield with a performance of Dear Evan Hansen.


I attended recently.  Shame that I hadn't been to a performance before.  It was excellent!


Attendees reach the theater by walking through long corridors with large photos from past shows. 


The theater isn't big, but it has good seating and a professional stage.  
The actors are professionals and members of Actors' Equity.


Dear Evan Hansen is about a socially awkward high school student who invents a relationship with another loner student who dies.  One thing leads to another and builds toward the inevitable collapse.  The play is thought provoking.  I will be buying tickets for future A.C.T. performances.
