Westport Country Playhouse to host free community event for Connecticut Open House Day on June 14

Westport Country Playhouse (25 Powers Ct, Westport, CT 06880) will welcome visitors with a free afternoon of behind-the-scenes access, live music, and family-friendly activities on Saturday, June 14, from 1 to 5 p.m. as part of Connecticut Open House Day. The event is open to all and will be held rain or shine.

The day will begin at 1 p.m. with Artistic Director Mark Shanahan unveiling the Playhouse’s 2025–26 season, which will begin in the fall. Following the announcement, season subscriptions will go on sale. Anyone who purchases or renews a subscription at the event will be entered into a raffle to win two tickets to a future performance of their choice.

Beginning at 1:40 p.m., guests can enjoy refreshments from food vendors including Newman’s Own “Pay What You Want” Food Truck, offering pizza, salad, snacks, and lemonade, and Mister Softee ice cream. All food will be available for purchase, and vendors are subject to change.

Children’s activities will include “Toss the Duck,” hosted by Westport Sunrise Rotary, a cookie decorating station from Sweet P Bakery (cookies available for purchase), and a coloring station themed around the Playhouse’s upcoming Family Festivities show, “The Wizard of Oz.” Representatives from Huntington Learning Center will also be on-site.

Live music will be performed by Cate and Mabel from 2 to 3 p.m., returning after last year’s “A Night for Swifties and More,” followed by Note to Self, featuring vocalist Maggie Meath and guitarist Tim McGrath, from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

Connecticut Open House Day, now in its 21st year, is presented by the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development. The statewide event, held annually on the second Saturday of June, encourages residents to explore cultural institutions and attractions across the state and share their experiences with others.
