AWARDS
Lila Wallace Foundation Grant Recipient for two years. "Best Community Theatre in Fairfield County" for the past two years - Readerss Poll, Fairfield County News. HISTORY For a long time we had no real home of our own. We played in a little theatre on Kings Highway, at Westport High now called Staples, the Grange in Weston, at Weston High and Fairfield University. Our audiences even followed us to the White Barn Theatre and the Westport Country Playhouse. Over the years we have trained any number of performers and directors, lighting, sound, set design and technically-inclined members. Not only do we have 2nd generation participants, but members who have met and married. CURRENTLY
We feel that we have, over the past few years, provided not only good theatre to the area, but a great deal to the community in the form of the benefits we have produced which include among others:
We are constantly working to increase local community participation in our programs and have just finished two mini-courses in Voice Production and the Art of Costuming a play. This summer we successfully added produced two mainstage productions, three play readings and three performances of our new Improved Company "Space Pockets. All of this open and free of tuition to those who participate in them." And where are we now? Remember the old Bedford Elementary where we began? It was turned into the Westport Town Hall, and we turned the downstairs into a real theatre in 1978. We've been there ever since. We are about to confidently enter our 51st year of presenting the surrounding community with good participatory theatre in the heart of Westport. ![]() |
