Welcome to West Hartford Community Theater, Inc. (WHCT)

Our goal at WHCT is to create the highest quality live musical theater. In order to accomplish this goal, WHCT depends solely upon the ability, performance and contribution from our board and our members without regard to education, age, gender, race, ethnic origins, physical abilities, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, gender identity or other perceived differences. WHCT values diversity and provides an environment where shared goals, performance standards and a common vision of the future guide the efforts of everyone.

WHCT was incorporated in the fall of 2007 with an eye toward providing the highest quality live musical theater experience for West Hartford residents and the greater Hartford community. The brain child of Conard High School graduates, Bruce LaRoche and Maria Librio Judge, WHCT will draw upon the unique and richly diverse pool of talent that exists right here in West Hartford and the surrounding area. Other vital assistance came from Haig Shahverdian, the head of the Fine & Performing Arts Department for the Town, as well as several other Town officials.

In cooperation with the Department of Fine & Performing Arts, our first production will be Meredith Willson’s, The Music Man. The Music Man will be presented on November 13, 14, 15, 2008 at 7:30 p.m. and November 16, 2008 at 2 p.m. Celebrating it’s 50th anniversary, The Music Man was selected for its multi-generational cast, as well as the singular theme of bringing music to a town…in our case, the Town of West Hartford.
