We are storytellers.
Through theater, we make connections between audience and artist, across time and distance, mentor and student, and within our community. Westport Country Playhouse is a non-profit that produces work from playwrights, actors, directors and designers from all backgrounds, entertaining audiences and exploring issues along the way.
Through our New Works Initiative, we provide support and funds toward the development of new voices and new works.
There are no boundaries to the creative thinking or the kinds of audiences we seek and excitement for theater that Westport Country Playhouse can build.
OUR MISSION
Through the art of theater, we bring stories to life that reexamine our own experiences, shine a light on those that have been ignored, and ensure a space for those yet to be told.
OUR VISION
To be a community hub for theater, art, ideas, and fellowship
OUR VALUES
To be a community hub for theater, art, ideas, and fellowship.
LANDACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Playhouse sits on land forcibly taken from the Paugussett and Wappingerpeople.
The Westport Country Playhouse acknowledges the indigenous peoples and nations of the Paugussett and Wappinger that stewarded the land and waterways of Westport, Connecticut. We honor and respect the enduring relationshipthatexistsbetweenthesepeoplesandnationsandthisland.
It is our goal to do more than just say or print the above words. We want to understand the history of this land long before the theater opened in 1931, andlongbeforethebarnwasbuiltin1865asatannery.
This September, we began our research into the history and displacement of the indigenous people of Connecticut. We wish to form an ongoing relationship with these peoples and current tribal communities. Our goal is to be able to honor their cultural heritage as well as their present-day stories.
We will be sharing what we learn with the Playhouse family. We welcome all tojoinusonthispathandhelpusbuildastrongercommunityinthefuture.
