West Hartford Community Theater opened its doors in the fall of 2008 to bring a high-quality, live, musical theater experience to West Hartford and the Greater Hartford Community. Founded by Bruce LaRoche and Maria Librio Judge, both graduates of Conard High School, the organization continues to produce quality productions year after year, showcasing the unique and richly diverse talent in West Hartford and surrounding communities.
WHCT welcomes all backgrounds and skillsets to volunteer for a variety of programs and performing arts opportunities, values diversity and strives to provide opportunities that are safe, equitable, and inclusive.
