Local theater has much to offer when you come to the Arts and Eats District on Main Street in Willimantic, CT. This theater is no exception when it comes to great productions, creative and talented performers, and events that go on all year round. The Windham Theatre Guild offers plays, musicals, concerts, special events, and a HUGE indoor tag sale that happens every January. There is something available for every age and stage of life. Tickets can be purchased at the door most of the time. The old velvet covered seats as well as the local Hosmer Mountain Soda that’s available during the intermission are sure to bring a smile to your face if you remember the days when theaters had these things to see and drink. You’ll also get personal service with REAL people when you get ushered to your seat, given your snacks that you can eat during the performance(yes!), and an opportunity to enjoy yourself in a very intimate setting. Often times there is art work on the walls around the theater so there is the possibility of a gallery showing during your attendance at a performance. Some of the art could also be available for sale at times. Be on the look out for good stuff! You’ll also see Playbills of performances that have been done through the years. Since 1985, the WTG has been delighting audiences who have attended their performances and events. My only qualm is that it can be tough to afford on a regular basis, although I would not begrudge and artist his or her due! I’ve had the pleasure to both accompany and perform on stage in the past. And before and/or after a performance, check out all the great flavors on Main Street. Let me know if you are coming to town so I can meet you!

Ambitious community theatre group in a converted bank building. Best aspects: a bar with beer and wine, and plenty of restroom facilities. Production quality varies widely. Comfortable-ish vintage seats.
