Professional Development Series

Based on popular demand for theatre education and training for all ages, not just high school students, CDT has decided to share the wealth of theatre knowledge with you all!

Debuting CDT's first ever Professional Development Series (PDS), our Deaf theatre professionals will share their wisdom accumulated from many years in the industry in a span of 14 installments. You will learn about comedic acting, dramatic acting, improvisation, as well as technical theatre skills such as set design, costume design, stage management, lighting design, and many more skills!

A Not-So-Quiet Place

We were thrilled to present our unforgettable Halloween experience,  A Not-So-Quiet Place, on October 28th. This captivating theatrical production took place at the American School for the Deaf (ASD), where guests from all over the New England region gathered to enjoy a cabaret-style show like no other.

Our talented performers showcased their skills in ASL poetry, ASL storytelling, musical performances, comedy acts, and mesmerizing dance routines, creating an enchanting atmosphere for everyone in attendance.

The event was a resounding success, with almost a full house of 75 patrons joining us. In addition to ASD students and members of the local community, we were delighted to welcome two school groups who shared in the excitement.

The State of Connecticut, Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of the Arts grant fund made this project possible. Thank you!
