CT
Oddfellows Playhouse is a nonprofit youth theater and performing arts organization, founded in 1975, that serves central CT young people, ages 1 -20, and the larger community, through year-round classes, performances, events, neighborhood-based troupes, and community-building and -bridging activities. We believe that access to high-quality arts experiences is a fundamental right. Throughout its history, Oddfellows has remained committed to artistic excellence and social change. The Playhouse’s mission has three parts: 1) an artistic dimension to provide high-quality theater by and for young people; 2) an educational dimension to promote the growth of young people--in skills, knowledge, and self-confidence--through the performing arts; and 3) a social action dimension to offer opportunities especially to underserved and at-risk youngsters to promote the development of a genuinely multiracial, multicultural society. Individual Playhouse programs must address at least one of these broad goals; Playhouse activities as a whole must address all three.
