* The Ivoryton Playhouse was first used as a community hall for workers of the local piano factory and then had a long history as a star-filled summer stock house under Broadway stage manager Milton Stiefel (Katharine Hepburn made her debut there), followed by summer seasons produced by the not-for-profit River Rep (1987-2005). The Playhouse now produces its own productions.

The Ivoryton Playhouse is located at 103 Main Street in Ivoryton, in the Connecticut River region, not far from Goodspeed Musicals' operations.
