The Burton Leavitt Theatre, home of the Windham Theatre Guild, is located in the heart of downtown Willimantic at 779 Main Street.

The Windham Theatre Guild produces a Main Stage Season of five to six shows each year running from July to June.  In addition to the Main Stage, the WTG also produces two Fractured Theatre shows, two youth productions, a Broadway chorus concert and other special events. 

The Windham Theatre Guild accepts payments at the door in the form of cash, check or credit card.    

The Burton Leavitt Theatre offers beer, wine, Hosmer Mountain Soda, water, coffee, tea and snacks for sale before the show and during intermission.  Items are reasonably prices and all proceeds support the operations of the Windham Theatre Guild so we ask that you do not bring outside food and drinks.

From time to time the Windham Theatre Guild has to cancel a performance due to inclement weather or other circumstances beyond our control.  Cancellation notices are posted on the WTG Website, WTG Facebook page and patrons with reservations are personally contacted via phone or email. 

The Burton Leavitt Theatre is handicap accessible.  There are limited accessible parking spaces available as well as a few spots on the street in front of the theatre.  Patrons can also be dropped off on Main Street in front of the theatre.

The Burton Leavitt Theatre can accommodate wheelchair seating.  However, there are a limited number of locations in the theatre where it is safe to put a wheelchair.  Therefore, we ask Patrons to call the theatre in advance at 860-423-2245 whenever possible so that we can reserve an appropriate space for a Patron in a wheelchair.
