Connecticut Theatre Exchange, formerly Pawling Theatre Exchange, builds on the idea that small, even cursory exchanges among theatre artists of all ages and phases of their lives can inspire, germinate, and manifest enormous impact personally, artistically, and professionally. 

​

Connecticut Theatre Exchange (CTX) will be built on our earlier inception of ideas laid down in our first summer in 2019  of existence as Pawling Theatre Exchange. Stay tuned for more . . . ..CTX envisions overlapping vibrant programming that includes branches of creation, study, education, and the development of new works of theatre in a safe, accessible, and secluded environment. In residence on Frederick Gunn School's  campus of lush greenery, CTX offers theatre artists in all disciplines curated resources along with housing, meals, and restorative time away from their busy lives.

Programming includes, but is not limited to:

​

​

• Playwrights developing their plays through differing stages of development

• Theatre ensembles in various stages of rehearsal processes of new works

• Professional theatre artists seeking opportunities to expand or share their skills 

• Internships offered to dedicated emerging theatre-makers

• Procured round-table discussions offering the exchange of ideas unique to each residency depending on who is present and the immediate topics of our time

• Workshops open to the community and public, allowing for curious exploration

• Public showings of new work in all stages of development, allowing the present community an insight into the why, what, and how of the artists’ unique processes

 

Simultaneous programming allows for invigorating conversations, remarkable communion, and unique collaboration within the residents’ time at PTE.

 

And life-long connections for artists and audiences alike are forged, enriching lives and allowing for future possibilities.
