Looking for ways to celebrate the holidays this season? Join West Hartford's Arts and Culture organizations for a variety of unique events and performances beginning in November through the new year!

Playhouse on Park is presenting a panel via Zoom on Sunday, December 27 at 4pm ET. The discussion will center around the historical Christmas Truce between the Allied troops & German Soldiers in 1914 during WWI. This panel is inspired by Playhouse on Park’s main stage production ALL IS CALM: THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE OF 1914, currently streaming online.

Playhouse on Park's 12th Main Stage Season opened with the film of the play KENNEDY: BOBBY'S LAST CRUSADE by David Arrow. This panel discussion is a continued conversation about the life and work of Robert F. Kennedy, precipitated by the filmed play.

'Never before have I felt so much love and support from so many people,' said Darlene Zoller, Playhouse on Park's co-artistic director and co-founder, of its 10th Anniversary Gala Fundraiser, which took place just last Saturday at the Gershon Fox Ballroom in Hartford.

The 15th Annual Mayor's Charity Ball successfully raised both funds and awareness for Playhouse on Park and HopeWorks, Inc. On the evening of Saturday, May 10, West Hartford's signature event welcomed a record number of attendees and culled over $53,000 for the two worthy non-profit organizations. The Grand Tent, courtesy of Taylor Rental Party Plus, looked beautiful on the lawn of Town Hall. Guests enjoyed a gourmet meal by Max's Catering and danced the night away to the swing band Eight to the Bar.
