The Courthouse is a wonderful place to go. I have been to many of their shows and there has never been a single bad show. I started to volunteer there for community service for my highschool, and I can definitely say that everyone there is very nice, friendly and just overall wonderful people . All of the performers I have seen have been overwhelmingly nice and friendly. I have yet to have a bad experience at this venue, and I always recommend this venue to all of my friends and family. Even through high temperatures and low temperatures, the shows rock hard enough for anyone to over look the temperature. No matter what, the shows are always super fun and a great place to go and have fun and jam out to some amazing music. More...

best place to catch a show! intimate, great sounding room and every seat is a good one. even better still that is that every time you go to a show there, you help fund very supportive and nurturing art and music programs for kids, all under the direction of Mariann Almonte who is all heart.

I had been to an art show here but John Cafferty and The Beaver Brown Band were awesome! The venue is big enough to hold an intimate event but not overwhelming. Will be watching for more shows.

As a Retried LEO, I was applaud at this person in question's response to a State Trooper's untimely demise. Thank you all for your swift and decisive action against her.
Consequences should be held for these poor view's about the death's of LEOs.
I hope good thing's for your organization.
I've deliberately omitted her name.
Thank you and Be Safe to All!

I have never personally been to your venue, however I do plan to visit. I recently saw how you handled the situation with a woman named Victoria Norris and I have to applaud you guys for how you handled it. I come from a family of police officers and you guys have my upmost respect. There aren't enough organizations out there who defend those who wear the badge and their families. As the daughter of a firefighter and police officer and whom I lost when I was a little, I know for a fact theres a person behind every badge. Thank you for showing respect for Trooper Clardy and others. Its appreciated. More...

It's an AWESOME place to see performances. You and about 100 of your closest friends sit no more than 20 to 25 feet from the stage so sightlines are very good. The sound system is very good for such a small space. And, the 503C CCftA helps bring arts and music skills to children when need it most. More...

This was the first time I attended a music event at this venue. I was very impressed. The seats were comfortable. The acoustics were excellent. A nice, cozy room where the audience has full view of the performance from all three sides that have seats. The room temperature was perfect. Glad I attended. It was a 35 minute drive from Groton, CT. I'll probably be back to see another event in the future. More...

I am a huge fan of the Courthouse Center for the Arts and the many art forms and services they provide to the community.
Under the guidance of Mariann Almonte, I have received great service in producing my art shows and teaching my acting classes. Check this place out for the many events from live comedy to concerts to classes and art exhibits. Consider this as a venue for your next project.

This was my third visit to Courthouse and we saw Brothers of the Road Band- a tribute band for the Allman Brothers. I expected it to be somewhat loud but would have appreciated some quieter acoustic stuff. The band opened up with a mechanical fluid version. It wasn't until the leader singer, Brennan came on stage did the place begin to rock. He had that warm soulful playful style where he could pull the people into the band's happy zone. Good Lawd! did he connect. Afterwards some of the band members came out and talked to people in the audience. It was like being backstage. I will go again. More...

Not only have I loved renting this gorgeous venue with my traveling gig, but I have attended phenomenal shows here and I LOVE than the perfect professionalism and heart of Mariann Almonte, and all the staff and volunteers with whom I had the pleasure of working. This should be a first stop for every legit artist, singer, musician, magician, educator, communicator, and inspirational speaker on any well supported circuit. Thank you, Courthouse Crew for all you do for all of us out here wanting wonderful options for the arts and hearts of this world. I'll be back & soon! More...

The Courthouse is a wonderful gem in South County that is often overlooked. The staff and volunteers are fantastic and accommodating. As for the Youth programs the kids are engaged and encouraged to participate at there own pace and level. They have fun, and show growth in many areas. The Courthouse continues to need the communities support in order to provide these amazing shows, art galleries and children's theater programs which I only see continued growth in future. I recently held a fundraiser there which was very successful. Everyone was very helpful and I was so thankful for there support in achieving my goal. More...

A favorite Venue for Music and Theater events that support the missions and goals of The Courthouse. They provide free life enriching programs for children. Giving back to the community, they offer free space for other non-profits, veterans and active military. Work readiness programs for autistic, learning delayed and down syndrome children. Mental health classes and support groups are also a part of the services offered for free. They are an important, integral part of the community. The Courthouse cares. More...
