The sheer scope of talented actors living in Hartford is nothing less than amazing. These artists with a theatrical flair have consistently contributed their talents to the productions put on by the Hartford Stage, the city's local theater company. The group presents six major shows and one to two summer productions every year, so there are plenty of opportunities to see some exciting local theater entertainment. And, their artistic range is just as impressive as their talent, as the group skillfully presents everything from the offbeat to the classic.

Amid the day to day hustle and bustle of the city, escaping to a natural haven isn't as difficult as you would think thanks to Hartford's Elizabeth Park Rose Gardens. Your senses will be stirred in this beautiful natural setting that features amazing views of meadows, fields and water. And of course, the roses of the park's namesake are the main attraction. A half-acre garden of rose bushes has attracted international attention, and once you see it, it's easy to see why. There are also several greenhouses, a picnic grove and recreational areas.
