When Rock, Hockey, and Wrestling Ruled New Haven: The Coliseum Conversation and Film Screening

The evening begins with classic Toad’s Place administrator Dan Santoro in conversation with filmmaker Rich Hanley. Drawing on his years at the legendary New Haven music venue, Santoro will share stories about his connections to the Coliseum, Toad’s Place and other memorable people, places and moments from New Haven’s entertainment history.
The conversation will be followed by a screening of Hanley’s 77-minute documentary, Last Days at the Coliseum, and an audience Q&A.
Whether you attended concerts, hockey games, wrestling matches or other events at the Coliseum—or simply want to learn more about this important piece of New Haven history—we invite you to join us for an evening of stories, memories and local history.
The Historic Anchor Bar will be open throughout the evening, with drinks and snacks available for purchase.
