In 1945, a group of theatre-loving employees of the Ensign-Bickford Company in Simsbury, Connecticut, started rehearsing Gilbert & Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance. With their first performance, they became a part of Connecticut history, and The Simsbury Light Opera Company was born. Since that performance, SLOCO has produced at least one public performance every year, making us the oldest continuously performing community theatre company in Connecticut, and one of the oldest in the country.
