Room for Your Creativity at Curtain Call Inc

Our Mission

The goal of Curtain Call is to provide an outlet for artistic expression in Fairfield County, CT while entertaining the general public. In addition, we want to provide a safe and nurturing environment for learning for all ages.

Founded in 1990 in association with The Stamford Community Arts Council, Curtain Call moved to our present location in the Sterling Farms Theatre Complex in 1992 (in cooperation with the City of Stamford). Our offices and theatres are located on the Sterling Farms Theatre Complex at 1349 Newfield Avenue, Stamford, CT 06905.

Curtain Call is Stamford’s longest-running, and only non-profit producing theatre company. With year-round performances in The Kweskin Theatre and The Dressing Room Theatre – conveniently located at Sterling Farms in Stamford – we also produce an annual free outdoor Shakespeare production. With at least 12 full-scale productions each year, plus many other special events (comedy nights, concerts, etc.) we entertain more than 30,000 patrons annually. Additionally, we offer a full curriculum of performing arts programming for ages five through adult.

Get involved with Curtain Call and learn why for 10 years running we have been named Fairfield County’s Best Local Theatre Group. Also, in a statewide Facebook poll administered by the CT Tourism Board in August 2012, Curtain Call was the State’s Favorite Theatre Site.

In 2011 Curtain Call received the prestigious Governor's Award for Excellence in Culture and Tourism. In 2016, we received the ACE Award for Excellence in the Arts from the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County. Executive Director Lou Ursone was named State Arts Administrator of the Year in 2008 and honored with The Elizabeth Mahaffey Fellowship.

Support from individuals, corporations, small businesses, and foundations help support our operation. Sponsorships and program advertising also help underwrite our various operating costs. For more information, please call us or send an email.

Recently renovated, The Dressing Room Theatre provides an intimate setting with a BYO everything format. And yes, if you haven’t been here for a while, there are lovely new and spacious restroom facilities. 

General and Box Office Policies

Etiquette

Please turn off cell phones and chiming watches while inside the theatre. Texting is not allowed inside the theater: the light emitted is distracting to performers and other audience members. Due to these distractions, we ask that you refrain from reading and writing text messages or emails, checking social media, playing games, or otherwise using phones, tablet computers and other portable electronic devices during the performance.

After the show, feel free to call/text/email/tweet/update your friends about the great theater you just saw at Curtain Call!

Photography/Recording

The taking of photographs or recordings of any kind before, during, or after the performance without written permission from Curtain Call is strictly prohibited.

Smoking

Smoking is prohibited everywhere in our theatres.

Ticket Donation Requests

Have an upcoming auction or fundraiser? If you’re a fellow non-profit, we might be able to help!

We support Connecticut-based non-profit organizations, with priority given to producing arts organizations, public and private schools, health-related services for individuals, and community organizations in the Fairfield County, CT area.

Due to the overwhelming demand, we are unable to honor donation requests for organizations located outside of Connecticut at this time.

All ticket donations are made at the sole discretion of Curtain Call based on the requesting organization and the services provided by the organization. Most often, we will provide two ticket vouchers, each good for one ticket to a performance at Curtain Call.

Restrictions: All shows are subject to availability. Vouchers cannot be redeemed for cash or applied toward the cost of a subscription.

Occasionally, we will donate Flex Passes, which are good for five to 10 tickets.

Performance Times

Evening performances generally start at 7:30 PM unless otherwise noted. Sunday matinees are at 2:00 PM.

Doors open one-half hour before performances in The Kweskin Theatre. Doors open one hour before performances in The Dressing Room Theatre.

All sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges.

(If unable to attend, you may consider donating your tickets to the theatre in exchange for a contribution receipt.)

Flex Pass subscribers may call the box office at (203) 461-6358 for exchange options up to 24 hours before a performance.

When Will I Receive My Tickets?

All tickets are held at the box office and are available for pickup one hour prior to curtain for The Dressing Room Theatre and a half-hour prior to curtain for The Kweskin Theatre. Flex Pass subscription tickets are also held at the box office.

Courtesy Reminders

Early each week, we notify ticket holders of their reservations. We do this by email and/or by telephone. This is especially helpful to Flex Pass subscribers who may have purchased tickets nearly a year in advance. It’s a helpful reminder of performance time and other area information such as nearby construction, etc.

Special Needs Seating

A number of wheelchair and companion seats are available. If you are in need of special seating, please notify the box office when making your purchase.

Privacy Policy

We do not sell or share our mailing lists. We do, however, often purchase lists from outside mail houses, so sometimes those who have previously requested no mail from us do receive communication. We apologize for that potential inconvenience.

Assisted Listening Devices

A limited number of infrared listening devices are available through the box office on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be asked to leave a form of identification as a deposit when you pick up the device.

Late Seating

All performances start promptly at the time listed. Patrons arriving late to the performance will be seated by the house manager at his or her discretion.

Latecomers may be seated in locations other than those for which they hold tickets.

Inclement Weather

We do not cancel performances, except in an extreme weather emergency. If we do so, we will issue refunds or exchange your tickets for another performance. We do not issue refunds for unused tickets if we have not cancelled a performance.

Land Acknowledgement

The land on which Curtain Call is located in Stamford, CT is the ancestral land of Native Americans – the Siwanoy. We acknowledge those Native Americans and the loss of their homeland – land on which we thrive today.

Staff and Board

Volunteers
