Under the Piano: Feeling the Vibes

The eighth annual Beechwood Open, “a summer arts immersion salon” fundraising benefit, held today at the Westport residence of acclaimed pianist Frederic Chiu and his wife, Jeanine Esposito, had a special guest — Colin Huggins. He describes himself as a New York street entertainer who travels around New York with a piano playing selections for passersby. As he does in New York, he invited several attendees to lie down on pillows on the floor under the piano to absorb the inspiration of the sounds. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com

Playhouse Suffers A/C Problems: The Show Did Not Go On

Disappointed opening night ticket holders at the Westport Country Playhouse tonight file out after “Hershey Felder as Irving Berlin” was canceled due to air-conditioning problems. Managing Director Michael Barker initially told the audience the curtain would be delayed 15 minutes, then 10 minutes later distributed complimentary water bottles when the air-conditioning still did not work properly, and 10 minutes after that said the performance was canceled. He said multiple elements of the production would be compromised by lack of air-conditioning, including the piano. To a chorus of boos, Barker said tickets could be exchanged for another performance.
