A group of  volunteers, led by founding publisher of The Wilton Bulletin, conceived of The Wilton Playshop in August 1937; the physical premises were moved to its current building on Lovers Lane in May 1954. The organization today is governed by a board of directors and relies on ticket sales and fundraising efforts to maintain its existence. Interested volunteers are welcome to help out with sets, lighting, hospitality, box office support, design and more.
The mission of The Wilton Playshop is to further the performing arts by providing quality live theater to the greater Wilton area and to provide an educational and growing experience for all involved.Â
