Come Work With Us!
The pandemic shutdown gave us a chance to pause. We used the time to listen, deliberate, and reflect. We looked at ourselves, and we looked at our home city—one that is mixed across differences such as race, language, sexual orientation, culture, gender identity, and more. At our core, we became consciously aware that we do not reflect the breadth and beauty of diversity the way we could and should.
As we re-opened our doors, we at Hartford Stage seized the moment to take intentional, deliberate actions to truly become Hartford’s stage.
Hartford Stage is a place for everyone—a place for you to be you.
