The Madhatters Theatre Company was founded in 1991. Classes in
Creative Drama are offered to students in shoreline schools from
Madison to Old Lyme. Based on the works of Dorothy Heathcote and
Brian Way, the workshop stimulates the imagination and helps to
develop self-confidence and social skills. Students create their plays
and characters through improvisation, which is then scripted and
performed in a professional theatre environment at the end of the
session. The program encourages children to work co-operatively
and enjoy sharing the limelight! Madhatters produces full length
musical productions in the Spring and Winter and also offers a 2
week summer musical theatre camp. We also offer by invitation
only participation in the Ivoryton Playhouse children’s summer series.
Through our affiliation with the Ivoryton Playhouse, students are also
offered the opportunity to perform in summer and Christmas
productions in this wonderful historic theatre. All productions and
classes are under the direction of Francesca Webster, director and
founder of Madhatters Theatre Company.

| Testimonials ....you have no idea how much you have given my daughter by empowering her to be confident on the stage and to use her voice! Madhatters is incredible! You are incredible... you have a true gift... I hope you know that. You take children... highlight their talents.. encourage their strengths... empower them in a way that school or their parents can not... but most importantly you give them a venue to express themselves... have fun... be creative... and to explore the "other " intelligences. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that! You are truly amazing and wonderful! Xo D .....She learned a great deal from you as well as from the more experienced cast members. During the short amount of time I had to observe you in action with the cast, I was so impressed by your calm demeanor, and how you gave your undivided attention to each cast member when they approached you with a question or concern. .... Hope to be back for future Madhatters productions! Sincerely, E and C L I just wanted to let you know that I had SO much fun doing Alice in Wonderland with you. It was a fantastic experience and I loved being the doorknob! I'm so sad it's over, but I can't wait for the next play. Thank you so much. A I just wanted to tell you that it was a pleasure to work with you and I would DEFINATELY do it again. (And I will!) Thank you so much for bringing me into this wonderful experience. Lots of Love, S |
