White Barn Theatre, Experimental theater in Cranbury neighborhood, Norwalk, Connecticut
The White Barn Theatre operated in a converted horse barn with 148 seats, featuring an intimate performance space for alternative productions.
Founded in 1947 by producer Lucille Lortel, the theater presented works by Eugene Ionesco, Athol Fugard, and Edward Albee until its closure in 2002.
The venue dedicated its programming to experimental plays and emerging artists, providing a platform for innovative theatrical productions outside commercial constraints.
Located at the intersection of Cranbury Road and Newtown Avenue, the property extended across 18.4 acres between Norwalk and Westport jurisdictions.
The theater structure remained standing until July 2017, when demolition occurred following unsuccessful preservation attempts and a 5.2 million dollar fundraising campaign.
