Goodspeed Musicals is set to enhance accessibility at The Goodspeed, its historic venue, beginning in January 2025 and completing the project by April. The initiative will include a new ADA-compliant entrance with an expanded porch, automatic doors, and improved landscaping, as well as a fully redesigned parking area featuring eco-friendly options and EV charging stations. Artistic Director Donna Lynn Hilton emphasizes the importance of these changes in creating a welcoming environment for all patrons.

Throughout the year, and intensively during the winter months, Goodspeed addresses issues unique to the field by offering innovative and highly-sought after programs through our Max Showalter Center for Education in Musical Theatre, including the celebrated Musical Theatre Institute providing programs for aspiring musical theatre professionals. The Arts Education Collaboration provides art-education programs for underserved Connecticut youth. The Festival of New Musicals features students from the Hartt School and the Boston Conservatory performing staged readings of three brand new musicals, industry-related seminars, a symposium and cabaret performances. Each winter, Goodspeed also hosts the Johnny Mercer Foundation Writers Grove that invites musical theatre writing teams to retreat from daily life for a four week residency and concentrate solely on writing new musicals. In addition, Goodspeed serves as a resource for the preservation of the art form through our Scherer Library of Musical Theatre, the second most extensive musical theatre research library in the United States.
