Summer 2024
Connecticut Theatre Exchange is gearing up for the 2024 Exchange!
Interested in a creative retreat? CTX will host learning opportunities for adults 18+ as well as a week-long day camp for young actors. Hop over to our Summer Learning Opportunities page to learn about the extraordinary teaching artists we are partnering with this summer.
Connecticut Theatre Exchange (CTX) exists to bring together theatre artists from various backgrounds and identities to support their process of developing new projects and new skills in a nurturing environment that is both accessible and affordable.
We do this by:
- Offering residencies for playwrights and screenwriters and their teams in various forms of development
- Providing low-cost residencies to existing ensembles to experience an uninterrupted and deeper developmental rehearsal process
- Giving space and time for professional artists to study new skills and new ideas, contributing to their artistic process
- Garnering resources for historically under-represented or under-supported populations and actively identifying ways to remove barriers to the CTX experience
- Welcoming the public to free showings of new work and inviting curated feedback
- Programming a variety of free or low-cost workshops of exploration of the artistic process
- Developing partnerships with organizations that promote equitable development of creative work
