Get ready for Theatre People!
An Evening of Cocktails, Fun Tales, & Backstage Tours
In advance of our next production – Theatre People
Before the curtain rises on our outrageously funny production of Paul Slade Smith’s Theatre People (March 25 – April 12), join us for a special evening celebrating our very own theatre, its legacy, and the people who bring the Westport Country Playhouse to life.
Step behind the scenes with an exclusive backstage tour led by Playhouse archivist and historian Bruce Miller, who will share captivating stories and hidden lore from our legendary history. Then, raise a glass at our festive cocktail party as we welcome a panel of beloved actors and figures from the Playhouse’s past – Joe Delafield (A Sherlock Carol, The 39 Steps), Mia Dillon (4000 Miles, A Merry Little Christmas Carol Radio Drama), Keir Dullea (Butterflies Are Free), Anne Keefe (former Playhouse co-artistic director), and Michael McCormick (Room Service, She Loves Me). Moderated by Playhouse artistic director, Mark Shanahan, these artists will share personal anecdotes and unforgettable moments from their time on our stage. It’s a night to toast the theatre people who make Westport Country Playhouse extraordinary—past, present, and future. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind celebration!

As we gear up for our wildly entertaining production of THEATRE PEOPLE, a play that celebrates the passion, humor, and romance of the stage, I’m thrilled for the Playhouse to host a special evening honoring some of its very own."
