Ivoryton Playhouse is a quintessential New England summer theater, steeped in history and a beautiful, quaint antique theater. It is a great little professional non-for-profit and a pearl of a theater in Southeast CT. The theater offers a friendly and intimate place to see a play with incredible lighting, seating, and acting on a relatively small stage. Productions are fantastic, wonderful, and superb, with great staging, cast, and music, often compared to Broadway. The high quality performances are very reasonably priced. It is a highly recommended place to see a play.
This is very quant threatre. Very good productions. Minutes from downtown Essex.

This small, charming theater consistently puts on top notch productions. Just came back from the dress rehearsal of Lady Day and I am gobsmacked! The writing, production, performances - all upper sphere. An artful education awaits you!
