Artistic Director Ruggiero says, 鈥淎s we continue to navigate these uncertain times, I鈥檓 thrilled to share these plays which speak so specifically to the human condition鈥攕tories of self-reflection, deep love, relationships, happiness, and change. There鈥檚 also a great deal of joy and laughter in this season, something I think we all need right now. As TheaterWorks Hartford returns to in-person events, it was equally important to include virtual work in our upcoming season. It allows us to continue and expand our commitment to new work. Also, by making our entire season available online, TheaterWorks Hartford can connect with audiences all over the world, while giving local audiences options on how they would like to connect as we move forward.
