Celebrating ‘Thousand Pines” Premiere

Playwright Matthew Greene (c) tonight celebrates the world premiere opening night with the cast of his creation, “Thousand Pines,” at the Westport Country Playhouse. The play is a story of three families who, through interactions in separate Thanksgiving Day dinners, share a common humanity struggling with grief, healing, and forgiveness in the wake of a shooting at Thousand Pines Junior High School. Greene, a California native, earned a B.A. in theater at Brigham Young University and currently lives in New York City. He is celebrating with the cast (l-r) Andrew Veenstra, Katie Ailion, Kelly McAndrew, William Ragsdale, Anne Bates and Joby Earle. The play runs through Nov. 17.
