Our Mission:

The Prospector Theater is a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to providing meaningful, competitive, and integrated employment to people with disabilities through the operation of a first-run movie theater in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Employees of the Theater are known as Prospects, with 75% self-identifying with a disability. As Prospects, we use their sparkle – or talents and passions – to create exceptional moviegoing experiences, while educating audiences about the employability of adults with disabilities. Nearly 83% of Americans with disabilities are unemployed, and the Prospector model is a beacon of hope for those who can work, want to work, yet struggle finding a job.

We fulfill our mission of meaningful employment EVERY DAY, demonstrating our philosophy that “working is working!”
