About Eastbound Theatre

Eastbound Theatre is a committee for community theatre under the umbrella of the Milford Arts Council.

Run by a passionate team and committee board, EBT presents:

  • three full stage productions of farce, drama, romance, or mystery in September, February, and June;

  • a two-weekend original one-act festival in collaboration with the Westport Community Theatre every summer;

  • a NEW series called "Plays in Development" presenting staged readings before an audience with a playwright/director/cast talk-back;

  • and a first-year "al fresco" production of Shakespeare in Eisenhower Park. 

Presenting theatre from the classics like Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, to fan-favorites like Four Weddings & an Elvis, new and innovative plays like this season's Dead Man's Cell Phone, re-imagined stand-bys like the last season's immersive in-the-round A Streetcar Named Desire, to lifting and supporting new works with the one-acts and plays in development -

In its 29th season, EBT offers a place for everyone, welcome to all, and ready for the next act.

Stopping Here is a dramatic presentation based on four poems by the beloved poet Robert Frost. These narrative poems were originally published in Frost's collection entitled North of Boston, and while they tell separate, unrelated stories, they are linked by common themes conveying the mystery of human relationships. Their use of dialogue interspersed with descriptive elements make them perfect for a dramatic adaptation which frames Frost's words with an imaginary conversation between the poet and his wife Elinor.
