ABOUT

The Prospector Theater is located in the heart of the historic Ridgefield, Connecticut. Sitting on the footprint of the town’s original movie house, the Prospector Theater was completely rebuilt from the ground up with the mission of competitive and inclusive employment for people with disabilities in mind. The 26,000-square-foot building leads the way in exhibition excellence, accessibility, and employment. Over 850,000 guests have been dazzled by Prospect sparkle since opening in November of 2014.

HEADS UP CAFÉ

The Heads Up Café serves up the finest coffee, tea, beer, wine, and Prospector Popcorn! Enjoy our carefully curated beer selections and exceptional wines.

When you visit the Café, take a look up at the dazzling penny ceiling. The pennies, hand-placed by Prospects, are all heads up – not for luck, but to symbolize the feeling one has when employed; we walk with our heads held high.

Come in for a tasty beverage and admire the historic photos, handmade Prospect artwork, and penny ceiling.
