It is a theatrical lab, where theatre professionals hone their skills, stretch creative muscles, experiment, develop new plays, work with and get feedback from fellow actors, writers and directors away from the harsh glare of the public spotlight. Each year, selected works are shared with the public through a benefit production, contributing to the rich cultural arts hub of Connecticut. Membership in the Workshop is open to professional actors, writers and directors. Admission is by audition, script submission or by a substantial body of recognized professional work.  <span style="font-size:14px;font-family:Roboto;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;box-sizing:inherit">Theatre Artists Workshop was founded in Westport, CT in 1983 by Susie Fuller, Keir Dullea, Haila Stoddard, Burry Frederick, Jerome Kilty, Whitfield Connor, Sidney Michaels, Patricia Englund, Chilton Ryan, James Mapes, Anne Clay, Louisette Michaels, and E.
