Westport Country Playhouse announces fundraising results
Westport Country Playhouse’s “Save Your Playhouse” campaign has successfully raised 97% of its $2 million goal. With the funds, Westport Country Playhouse will develop into a performing arts center, cultivating a larger audience while still providing quality theater.
According to Athena Adamson, Playhouse board of trustees’ chair, “The show will go on! We raised an amount very close to our $2 million goal by the July 31 deadline. Major gift conversations are ongoing that very soon could bring us well beyond our goal.
“Every gift is meaningful and treasured,” Adamson noted. “We can thank our wonderful community who stepped up to ‘Save the Playhouse’ and shape it for future generations.”
Launched in early June, the “Save Your Playhouse” campaign will fund a series of single night events, including cabaret, comedy, music, playreadings, and speakers, from January through August 2024. From September 2024 through March 2025, the Playhouse will continue its theatrical tradition by mounting three productions.
Overseeing the theatrical stagings will be Mark Shanahan, director, playwright, and actor, who was recently appointed incoming artistic director for the 2024-25 season. He will officially assume the position in March 2024. Currently, Shanahan is curator of the Playhouse’s Script in Hand playreading series.
