Goodspeed Breaks Ground for Renovation

Press release

Goodspeed Musicals held a groundbreaking ceremony on Jan. 18 to make its 150-year-old home, The Goodspeed in East Haddam, Conn., more welcoming and accessible for patrons. The project features a renovated front entrance; which includes a new ADA ramp, an expanded porch, automatic-open front doors, energy-efficient lighting, and new landscaping; as well as a completely redesigned and improved parking area. It will be completed in April, in time for the start of the 2025 season.
