More than 70,000 patrons attend Playhouse events each year, making Ridgefield a destination spot for out-of-town visitors as well as providing an artistically vibrant performing arts center for its residents.
It is estimated that the Playhouse attracts $1.4 million annually to Ridgefield businesses and restaurants, contributing to the economic stability of the town.
