history

First opened as a vaudeville house in 1920, the Sacred Heart University Community Theatre is a 500-seat cinema and performance space located at 1420 Post Road at the bustling corner of Unquowa and Post Roads in Fairfield. In May 2019, Sacred Heart University and Kleban properties partnered to renovate and reopen the long-shuttered theatre as a contemporary arts and education venue and nonprofit. Now a thriving arts venue, SHU’s gift to the community offers entertainment and education for the students, faculty and staff at SHU and our neighbors across the Fairfield county region.
