I want to say this because I don't see or hear anyone else doing it. I have never met or seen a more dedicated group of people working so hard to save an organization. I am so impressed with each person I have met there. They give so much to keep what may be the best kept secret in Norwich going! I think you should check them out! I attended a movie night recently and they were showing the movie recently released about the life of Steven Hawking. The theater was surprisingly comfortable and the quality of the viewing and sound were superb. Okay, the seats were not like a movie theater. But you could even buy popcorn. And the most surprising thing of all is that not one of these people gets paid to do what they do. And when I went to a meeting with some friends tonight at the gallery I got a preview of a fabulous show the volunteers were mounting for the art faculty of the local community college. If you enjoy viewing fine art, you do not want to miss this show! Since I first moved into Norwich I was told that downtown was to be avoided. But I have been there and eaten wonderful foods and walked all over and been in some fabulous small shops and not a single person ever threatened to mug me. No one even came near. I think it is time to dispense with a rumor that causes more suffering than anything else in Norwich. Check out downtown for yourself and don't miss the NAC's doings!

What a gem of a playhouse! Tucked at the edge of downtown.

The playhouse thrives off of donations and it shows! They've updated their restrooms in the last couple years since I've went and not that they were bad before, but they're much nicer now! There is not a bad seat in the house. Last minute ticket? Not a guarantee but always worth it if you're around here on a whim. Always wonderful and intimate show. You feel like you're a part of it being so close! Not a fan of house wines? For $5 bring your own and they'll uncork it for ya and provide the glasses.

We were able to socially distance in the theater and at the slots as well. The Carter's were empty and half of all of the food venues were closed. It was very spooky and sad. And yet I still lost money at the slots. I should feel bad for them but jeepers if I had won something maybe I would come back sooner.

The museum does an…read moreexcellent job presenting the history and culture of the Pequot people through detailed exhibits, artifacts, couple of films, and interactive displays. I especially enjoyed learning about the region's Native American history and how thoughtfully the exhibits were organized. I will say that I did find myself walking through some parts more than once - it could just be me not being able to find my way around easily, but I didn't find it easy or intuitive to navigate. The Pequot village was definitely my favorite part. Walking through the recreated village felt immersive and realistic, and it really brought the history to life in a meaningful way - especially listening to the audio guide. The attention to detail made it easy to imagine what daily life may have been like centuries ago. Overall, it was an educational and memorable visit -- 4 out of 5 stars!
