Founded in 1990, the Connecticut Critics Circle is a statewide organization of critics who gather at the end of each theater season to celebrate excellence.

“Our colleagues at other theatres in the state are generous and inspiring fellow-travelers in our art form, and I am pleased that Yale Rep has been recognized among so many other outstanding organizations and practitioners.  Above all, I am deeply grateful to the artists whose visions were represented on our stages, and to the dedicated managers and members of our staff who keep Yale Rep’s standards of production so high from show to show. ”  —James Bundy, Artistic Director
