Safety Protocols
The focus of the event is to support our locally New Canaan-based businesses during these challenging times and vendor capacity has been reduced by over 50% to further enhance the safety of all attendees. Hand Sanitizer will be available at multiple locations and masks will be available for any attendee that does not have one. Customers will be required to wear a mask while attending the event.
This weekend is the last days of Connecticut’s Tax-Free Week, so make sure to swing by for some great tax-free finds and back to school shopping.
Thanks to William Raveis and Hannelore & Co. for generously sponsoring the event.

Date: Saturday August 29th
Time: 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

We are the first theater in the area to produce a new, live, on-stage, fully produced play for our audience! The play will be performed live on the Powerhouse Theater stage and streamed to our audience on Saturday, August 29th at 8:00 PM. This won’t be a static Zoom reading with bad audio and technical glitches. Rather this is streamed direct to your living room as performed LIVE ON-STAGE. It will be as close as we can get these days to having you in our theater.

THE OUTGOING TIDE, by Bruce Graham. Thought twists and turns, deeply recognizable family relationships, and, of course, humor, comes this touching family drama that asks what it means to truly love someone.

As part of an ongoing effort to prevent identity theft in the community, Bankwell in New Canaan will be providing free on-site shredding services at the Bank’s Elm Street branch .
The Bank encourages residents of the community to take the opportunity to securely dispose of old credit cards, passports, bills, invoices, checks, statements or other personal papers. The Bank requests that each individual limit their items to three square boxes.

Staff with proper protective equipment (PPE) will be on hand to help unload boxes from your car and carry them to the shredder. There is no need to get out of your car.
