Town Hall Theater breaks ground on expansion

Dec 14, 2023 | Photos of the Week

FRIENDS OF THE arts and supporters of Town Hall Theater gathered in the courtyard next to the Middlebury performance and gallery space on Tuesday to symbolically put (golden) shovels in the ground and kickoff construction of a new 7,000 square-foot expansion. The new wing, estimated to cost $7.8 million, will include a rehearsal studio, a scene shop, and a center for education for people of all ages, as well as create an outdoor plaza for performances, food trucks, and a cup of coffee on a summer day.
