The Downtown Cabaret Theater is a production theater located in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The theater is the successor to the Sacred Heart University Cabaret. The creation of the new Downtown Cabaret Theater was formed partly because of the need for a professional theater company in the downtown Bridgeport area. These men and women included former mayor Nicholas Panuzio, Norwick Goodspeed, Samuel and Alexander Hawley and Leete Doty.

The theater officially opened its doors to the public in February 27, 1976 starting with a performance from the Vaudeville Troupe. Visitors and tourists who would like to experience a different kind of fun should expect to feel a different vibe as the Downtown Cabaret Theater follows a ?Bring Your Own Picnic? setup.

Connecticut?s Downtown Cabaret Theater features two distinct stages for different types of entertainment. Adults can stay and enjoy the music and the good spirited fun with the Downtown Cabaret Theater?s main stage.
