Artfarm Theater. Simple Living. Activism. ARTFARM currently operates out of a small office at 119 highland Ave in Middletown, CT.

We partner with many organizations, both local and further afield (2013 featured a fabulous exchange between ARTFARM and Vermont's Bread and Puppet Theater, supported by the Network of Ensemble Theaters), so we currently have many artistic homes. It is our intention to acquire a farm in central Connecticut, and renovate the barn, turning it into a performance, workshop and retreat space. We are dedicated to the ideas of farm preservation and open space and greatly concerned about the increasing rate that developers are consuming Connecticut's precious lands. ARTFARM – a theater, a working small organic farm, and a retreat and workshop center where artists, activists, under-served young people and just good folks can come for renewal and inspiration.

A huge thanks to all 37 performers in last weekend's 3 performances of "ephemera" at Indian Hill and Vine Street Cemeteries in Middletown. All three performances were oversold, it was a magnificent day, and Psychopomp and Director Marcella Trowbridge led audiences on a moving journey of discovery and reflection, honoring the cemeteries' inhabitants while encouraging us to be aware that the reality of impermanence should encourage us to live well and fully NOW.
