The early days of Westport Country Playhouse ( Photo by Wells Studio)
WESTPORT, CT - Ninety years ago on June 29, 1931, Westport Country Playhouse opened its doors to its very first stage production. This year, on the exact same day, the Playhouse will mark its 90th anniversary with the opening of the virtual production, Tiny House, written by Michael Gotch, and directed by Mark Lamos, Playhouse artistic director. The regional premiere of the timely comedy about escaping urban life in an isolated mountain paradise will stream on demand from Tuesday, June 29 through Sunday, July 18. I love the coincidence of June 29!, said Lamos. As we honor the Playhouse s remarkable 90-year history, we also look forward to new artistic choices that speak to the world today.
