If you’re a theater buff like I am, you know that Connecticut, and Fairfield County specifically, is the place to be for the best local community, regional, and professional theatres. Of course, going into New York City can still be a fun event for the whole family, but travel time and money can be obstacles.
In Connecticut, you can see anything from musicals to dance to children’s theatre, comedy, and dramas. When you’re bringing children to the theatre, it might be more appealing to keep it closer to home, so thank goodness Fairfield County is known for having some of the best theatre venues in the state.
