Hole in the Wall Theater has been a staple of the New Britain arts community for over 50 years. Through the hundreds of shows we’ve produced, our mission has always been to make theater accessible to everyone. Every one of our Main Stage productions includes a “Pay What You Can Night” to give all of our patrons the opportunity to experience the joy of live theater, regardless of their circumstances.

Every one of our members – from our actors, to our directors, to our tech, maintenance, and administrative team – are volunteers. We are always seeking new helping hands to join in our efforts to produce quality theater for the community at large. Please check our auditions page and our volunteer page for more information on how you can get involved, or learn more about our history and past productions to see what you can expect here at Hole in the Wall!

Covid Safety

The safety of our audiences, performers and crew are of paramount importance to us. Like many theaters during the pandemic we were shuttered for a long time and have only been able to get back to what we love by following all current and available guidelines and with a solid understanding of our indoor performance space. We sanitize all surfaces before and after each performance. Because we sell concessions, we ask that all food and drink be consumed in the lobby and masks removed only for that purpose.

Please look over our Covid Policy before coming. It is, like all things, subject to change when deemed necessary.
