2023 Terris Theatre Season

The Terris Theatre has been dark for the past three years, but we're opening the doors of our beloved little Chester stage once again this year!

For almost 40 years, The Terris Theatre has been Goodspeed’s home for developing fresh, innovative and original new musicals. Many new and reimagined musicals have been developed in Chester, Conn., before moving on to Broadway, Off-Broadway, National Tours and other Regional Theatres. Because this is a developmental theatre, the show can change on a day-to-day basis. New scenes are added, songs are moved, costumes are changed, dialogue is tweaked—all based on audience response and feedback.

This season, audiences will enjoy two brand new musicals at the Terris.

Season tickets are just $90 per person!

You can order your Terris Theatre Season Tickets online or by calling 860.873.8668.

July 26 - August 27

By Bruce Vilanch, Gabriel Barre and Tricia Paoluccio
Featuring Songs Written or Recorded by Dolly Parton (And Others)
Directed and Choreographed by Gabriel Barre

This rollicking and touching new musical tells the story of a diehard fan whose imaginary version of Dolly Parton gets him through a trying time. With her wit, humor and trademark charm, she teaches him a whole lot about life, love and how to pull yourself up by your bootstraps… even if your bootstraps don’t have rhinestones! Packed with hits like “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” “Islands in the Stream” and more, this is one musical that is sure to make you smile!
