Playhouse Adds 1,000 New Subscribers

Michael Ross, managing director of the Westport Country Playhouse, told the Westport Rotary Club Tuesday the Playhouse has added 1,000 new first time season subscribers in advance of its five-play season opening May 5 with “The Liar,” a comedy by David Ives. He said for the first time, the Playhouse will have a three-week preview run of A.R. Gurney’s new play “Love & Money” beginning July 21 prior to its opening at New York’s off-Broadway Signature Theatre. During the run, to which no critics have been invited, Gurney and the producers will have an opportunity to make adjustments to the play based on audience feedback prior to its New York opening, he said. “It’s something new for us,” Ross said.
