As part of today’s Westport Country Playhouse 2018 season kick-off party, Mark Lamos (3rd r), Playhouse artistic director, hosted a preview of the seasons’s five productions. The Playhouse’s 88th season will begin with “Flyin’ West,” playing May 29 – June 16, written by Pearl Cleage and directed by Seret Scott (3rd l)  Set in 1898 when the Civil War is still a living memory, the all-black town of Nicodemus, Kansas, offers a refuge for many former slaves. At one homestead lives a family of courageous and sharp-witted women determined to make a place for themselves. They overcome tremendous odds in a heroic effort to escape the scars of the past in this story of bravery, pride, and sisterhood. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) J.C. Martin for WestportNow.com
