From: Westport Country PlayhouseNext Wednesday, March 27, is #WorldTheatreDay!
"Every time an audience member recognizes themselves or their neighbor in a character they see on our stage and acknowledges a strength or weakness, every time a play we produce excites discussion... there is the potential to change lives."
- Joanne Woodward
