The Hartt Theatre Division within The Hartt School at the University of Hartford proudly announces the premiere of I AM HARTFORD: A Celebration of Diversity, a new documentary film that celebrates and preserves the rich cultural mosaic of Hartford, Connecticut, and its surrounding communities. The screening will take place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. in Wilde Auditorium on the University of Hartford campus.
I AM HARTFORD is a student-driven initiative spearheaded by Kevin Ramsey, Theatre Division Director at The Hartt School. This powerful project is generously supported by the Edward C. and Ann T. Roberts Foundation, whose commitment to the arts continues to play a vital role in sustaining Hartford’s cultural vitality. The project is rooted in community engagement and highlights storytelling as a bridge between generations, cultures, and artistic practices. The documentary features several distinguished UHart administrators and faculty scholars, as well as a host of community arts and business leaders, alongside those who grew up in Hartford. Together, their stories reflect the resilience, creativity, and enduring contributions of the people of Hartford.
Through this project, our students are learning the power of storytelling as a tool for civic dialogue and cultural preservation. Hartford is a city of extraordinary voices, and this film is both a tribute and an invitation to celebrate the community and our shared history.”
The premiere event will include the screening, followed by a community conversation with student creators, administrator, faculty, and local citizens and cultural leaders.
