Little Theatre Urgent Call to Support

Dear Friends, Patrons, Supporters, Artists, and Art Advocates:

In October 2024, our theater’s HVAC system failed. With only months of life left in the current unit, we’re asking for your financial help to install a replacement. The estimated cost of a new HVAC is between $60k-$80k. Needless to say, this is an insurmountable cost without immediate community support.

Little Theatre Auditorium has been a mainstay of community arts in New London for over 100 years. In 1997, when the theater was facing dilapidation, the community rallied to fund renovations and repairs. In recent times, we survived 2 years of closed doors brought on by COVID-19. We will make it through again but need your help.

New London is a special, generous, and fulfilling place to live. We believe our community’s commitment to supporting art and artists is a large part of why that’s true. In the last 6 years we’ve brought workshops, music concerts and theatrical performances to New London, plus community wide events like Porchfest, Harvestfest Autumn Equinox Puppet Parade, and our Wednesday music/market/food series at Neer Park called Little Show on the Crow.

Let’s continue to make shared memories in New London.
