Due to the construction underway at the library for its Transformation Project, this year’s 20th anniversary fundraiser will be held Monday, June 11 at the Rolling Hills Country Club in Wilton at 7 p.m.
“For this 20th anniversary of BOOKED, it is especially meaningful to be able to honor an individual like Justin who not only has such a distinguished career but also has close ties with Westport,” said Bill Harmer, executive director of the Westport Library.
“We are looking forward to celebrating his extraordinary creativity and contributions to the arts and to our community.”
Justin Paul is an award-winning composer and lyricist. In 2017, just four months after taking home an Oscar for the lyrics to “City of Stars” from the movie “La La Land,” Paul and his song-writing partner Benj Pasek won a Tony for the score of the Broadway musical “Dear Evan Hansen. “
Tickets for the event go on sale Sunday, May 20. More information is available HERE.
