The Chestnut Street Playhouse is an intimate, professional, high-quality, black box theater that is internationally recognized for its annual dedication to the full production of new musicals.

History
Located at 24 Chestnut Street, Central Fire Headquarters became the hub of the Norwich Fire Department. This beautiful Queen Anne style building housed multiple fire companies. In 2000, this building was transformed into a 67-seat black box theater. Now, in the heart of downtown Norwich, CT, Chestnut Street Playhouse is the place to be for entertainment, education and a celebration of the performing arts. This firehouse has always been an integral part of the Norwich community and we continue this tradition by providing quality entertainment at affordable costs.

Our Mission
Chestnut Street Playhouse is committed to providing high quality theatrical experiences that entertain audiences, educate students, and nurture and develop the local arts community. We strive to be a major catalyst for community involvement and revitalization through the arts.

Our Future
The Playhouse will revive the community of Norwich. We are making efforts to give local artists a voice and to bring in new audiences with diverse programming; classes for young people, thought-provoking productions and unique special events will help us accomplish this.
