For the past eight years, The Prospector Theatre served as a cornerstone of the Ridgefield community. Now, after a harrowing fourteen months, Prospects are ready to reopen the theater to the public – doing so with more sparkle than ever before.
In preparation for today’s reopening, Prospects and their family and friends got together last night dressed in their best suits and even light-up dresses. The evening began with a tribute to Al, a hard working and loving brother, uncle, and Prospect who passed away earlier this month. Al’s name was added to the sculpture which serves as a focal point of the theater lobby.

RIDGEFIELD Gov. Ned Lamont paid a special visit to Ridgefield on Friday to celebrate the town’s achievement in becoming the first municipality in the state with a designated “cultural district.”
A small, mostly maskless crowd gathered outside The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum on Main Street for a news conference marking the occasion.
“A lot of people have rediscovered Connecticut . and what makes this state so great,” Lamont said. “It’s our culture, it’s our history, it’s our values. . It just shows you that sometimes there are silver linings, and this is an extraordinary silver lining for the state.”
