Meet Connecticut, a charming state that's small in size but gigantic in spirit. Now, if states were kids, Connecticut would be the brainy one with glasses, always carrying a stack of history books and a pocket full of fascinating facts. He could chatter for hours about his old-timey villages, bustling seaports, or breathtaking mountains. But what truly makes his eyes sparkle are the super-duper field trips he hosts for his friends, the Connecticut kids. 

Oh boy, those kids! They're as unique as snowflakes in a blizzard and twice as energetic. You'll find them buzzing about, armed with curiosity and laughter, ready to explore all Connecticut's nooks and crannies. They are the kind of kids who would rather lose their homework than their sense of adventure. 

Meet Billy Brains-a-lot, the unofficial leader of the Connecticut kids. With wild, Einstein-like hair and a backpack filled with snacks and confusion, Billy leads his troop with the grace of a stampeding elephant. Every field trip is a whirlwind of chaos and fun, from getting entangled in old pirate ship rigging at Mystic Seaport to chasing imaginary dinosaurs at Dinosaur State Park. 

Yes, Connecticut and his spirited kids are unlike any other. Just imagine a state that's a walking, talking history book paired with a bunch of kids who can find excitement in a blade of grass. It's a hilarious combination of learning and fun, one that would surely make you wish that you, too, were part of the crazy, beautiful world of Connecticut field trips.

The Downtown Cabaret Theatre is an impressive example of the commitment to the downtown area. Originating from Sacred Heart University, where it achieved several successful seasons, the theatre company, led by Claude McNeal, made the move to the downtown area in 1975. Alexander Hawley, Samuel Hawley, Norwick Goodspeed, Mayor Nicholas Panuzio, Leete Doty and other business and civic leaders saw the importance of having a professional theatre company in the area. To make the move happen, the assembly room of the former YWCA was converted into a theatre, installing a balcony and air conditioning.
