BERT KREISCHER: PERMISSION TO PARTY

The Toyota Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford, Connecticut, carries a storied legacy dating back to its 1954 origins as a "theatre in the round." Over the decades, it has evolved from a seasonal tent into a premier year-round destination for live entertainment. The venue is distinctive for its dual-space layout, featuring both a grand main theatre and the more intimate "Dome." This versatility allows comedy fans to enjoy a wide range of performances, from massive arena-style tours to high-energy sets in a closer setting. As a staple of the New England comedy circuit, the Oakdale regularly hosts the industry’s most celebrated talents. Its stage has welcomed legendary performers such as Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan, along with modern powerhouses like Kevin Hart and Bill Burr. With its blend of historic charm and professional production, the venue provides an inviting atmosphere for anyone looking to experience world-class stand-up in the heart of Connecticut.
