Rebublican Amerian: Landmark Norfolk Victorian to become entertainment venue
NORFOLK -- The new owner of the landmark, elegant green Victorian along Route 44 is preparing its latest incarnation as a restaurant and entertainment destination.
Dan Hincks has given the former Greenwoods Theatre a new name, Infinity Hall, and is preparing for its debut as a concert hall Oct. 17. The building's long list of identities began in 1983 when it was constructed as a village hall, and over the generations has existed as a community hall, opera, grocery and community theater.

Infinity Hall--Connecticut's newest and oldest entertainment venue--opened its bright green, red and gold doors in October of 2008, and it hasn't taken long for music lovers to discover this stunningly renovated, acoustically superb, 300-seat theater.
Infinity Hall is transforming the "ice box of Connecticut" into the state's hottest little town. Concert-goers are flocking from as far as Maine to this intimate music hall in Norfolk, a sleepy outpost in the western Connecticut hills that owes its frigid reputation to its 1,770-foot elevation: the highest in the state.

New York Post: Infinity Hall makes the NY Post 100 Summer Destinations
WHY? The highest town in the state, reaching a lofty 1,770 feet above sea level, Norfolk is a living museum of New England tradition.
MUST DO Most people who know Norfolk think of it as the home of the Yale School of Music and Art. Students spend six-week sessions here, paid for nearly completely by the trust of Ellen Battell Stoeckel -- the school is actually housed on her bucolic estate tucked away just off the green. There certainly isn't anything else around here that can top the school's fantastic summer concert series, held in what's known as the Music Shed. Located towards the back of the Stoeckel property, it dates back to 1906 and is not, contrary to mistaken first impressions, a renovated barn -- the interior is modeled after Manhattan's old Steinway Hall. Famous for stellar acoustics, the Shed regularly hosts world-renowned groups like the Tokyo String Quartet. The big news in town right now, though, is that the old Opera House, an artsy-craftsy wedding cake of a building dating back to the 1880s, has now become Infinity Hall, a handsome live music venue..
