Impromptu Hootenanny

Due to an actor’s illness, Westport Country Playhouse canceled tonight’s performance of “Woody Sez: The Life and Music of Woody Guthrie.” In place of the show, the remaining cast members hosted an admission-free hootenanny. Attendees were invited to B.Y.O.I. (bring your own instrument). Those with instruments took the stage while those without instruments enjoyed the 90-minute jam from the audience. Leading the hootenanny was David M. Lutken (c. with guitar), who portrays Woody Guthrie in “Woody Sez,” playing through Sat., Jan. 20. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Beth Huisking for WestportNow.com
