Bratton Theater

Located at 35 Pratt Avenue in Chautauqua, New York, the Bratton Theater is home to the Chautauqua Theater Company (CTC). CTC is dedicated to producing high-quality live theater during a vibrant nine-week summer season. They are committed to developing new work, nurturing the next generation of theater artists, and presenting world premieres as well as modern and contemporary plays. The institution also brings fresh perspectives to the classical canon.

In celebration of Chautauqua's sesquicentennial, CTC's 2024 season will showcase a diverse range of productions, including three New Play Workshops and three mainstage productions. Among the mainstage productions are Noah Haidle's "Birthday Candles," Lynn Nottage's "Fabulation, or The Re-Education of Undine," and Kate Hamill's "The Light and The Dark (the life and times of Artemisia Gentileschi)," a world premiere directed by Producing Artistic Director Jade King Carroll.

The world premiere of Kate Hamill's "The Light and The Dark" will take place during the final two weeks of the nine-week Summer Assembly, from June 22 to August 25, 2024. The institution also offers Design Fellowship opportunities, with applications accepted on a rolling basis, though applicants are encouraged to apply by March 1.
