Important Fuse Update
​​
We are excited to announce that Tyheed T. Scurry, who has been on our board since 2023 and performed with us multiple times, has assumed leadership of Fuse Theatre of CT in the role of board/creative director.
Ty is a beloved New Haven-based, award-winning educator, director, and performer who established the Legacy Studios drama program at New Haven Academy, where he has worked with students from across the city. He brings with him a lot of experience, talent, heart, and drive - we can’t wait to see what vision he has for Fuse. Co-founder and previous artistic director Lara Morton and longtime treasurer Elizabeth Santaus have completed their terms on the board. We want to thank them for six years of blood, sweat and tears. The mark they have left on Fuse is immeasurable. We wish them all the best as they embark on new projects and adventures. Board members Noah Golden and Eric Wolff will continue on the board until 2027 to smooth the transition, after which they too will conclude their tenure with Fuse’s leadership. We also want to take a moment and thank our other co-founder, Susan Larkin, as well as past board members Elvin Melendez, April Chateauneuf, Jake Egan, Lyndsey Chance Simmons, and Barbara Hentschel.
​
As you might have noticed, we’ve been on hiatus due to schedules, burn-out and all the issues that come with creating art in this perilous time. We will continue this hiatus for a while longer while we work to ensure a smooth transition and give Ty some time to build, brainstorm, and plan. Keep following us for updates. If you are interested in joining us, please write at FuseTheatreCT@gmail.com. We’d love to hear from you.
Fuse was started in the fall of 2019 with a lot of big dreams and big ideas. Since then, we have produced four full-length productions, three concerts, one developmental staged reading, and two streamed films. We’ve been nominated for dozens of BroadwayWorldCT awards and won Best Feature Length Comedy at the Legacy Film Festival. We’ve worked with over 150 incredible performers, musicians, creatives, and technicians. We’ve gotten to perform for thousands of audience members from CT and beyond. But more than anything else, we have fulfilled so many of the dreams we had for this company at its inception, not just in producing high-level, professional, thought-provoking, unique, entertaining, and meaningful productions, but fostering a community of talented, kind, diverse performers and theater-makers who could fulfill their highest potential in a safe, egalitarian, and supportive environment. Building that platform has allowed us to realize our other shared goal of keeping Fuse running with new leaders, new perspectives, new ideas, and new opportunities.
​
We are very proud of the work we’ve done and very grateful to the people we’ve created it with. The New Haven theater and arts scene is such a rich community. It’s been an honor to be a part of it and to be in such wonderful company. We congratulate Ty and wish him all the best in this new phase of the company.
​​
Ty first joined Fuse for Jason Robert Brown’s Songs For A New World, which starts with the lyric “A new world calls across the ocean, a new world calls across the sky, a new world whispers in the shadows, time to fly, time to fly."
A new world awaits.
Have a happy 2026 from all of us at Fuse Theatre of CT.
