The short lived organization was called The Tempest Playhouse and was a financial failure.

A showcase is a production that occurs between mainstage productions and generally runs 1-2 weekends. While this showcase is the first to be listed here it is by no means the first to be produced. They occurred frequently during the early years of the theater with no dark weekends until at least 5 years after its first production. However, most of these early showcases were generally spur of the moment. The above production marked perhaps the first showcase of many to follow with complete production values.

The theater’s move to 10 Harvard Street marked the first full season (6 play season) voted in by the theater prior to its production. Previously shows were generally voted in only one show in advance of the current play in production and, on occasion, the next production would not be voted in until after the closing of the previous production.

In 2003, our month to month lease with 10 Harvard Street came to an end, and while we were searching for a new space, we worked with a new arts organization in New Britain, Save 69 Main. Hole in the Wall performed its sixth show of the 2003 season at 69 Main Street, and contributed three pieces to its Fall Arts Festival.

After nearly 2 1/2 years of hard work and fund raising we finally opened our new space at 116-118 Main Street.
