Sutton Folster to headline Westport County Playhouses 2018 Gala

7/3/2018 1:37pm


Sutton Foster will headline Westport Country Playhouse’s 2018 Gala on Sat Sept 8, performing Broadway standards with a trio of musicians. Eunice and David Bigelow, co-chairmen of the family-run Bigelow Tea Company, headquartered in Fairfield, CT, will be honored with the Playhouse’s 2018 Leadership Award for their vision and philanthropy. The Gala’s theme, “Andalusian Nights,” ties in with the Playhouse’s autumn production of “Man of La Mancha,” bringing the ambiance of Spain to the evening.  A dinner for patrons and benefactors will take place pre-performance and includes a private cocktail hour, silent auction, and live Spanish guitar music. Following the performance will be an after-party with tapas and a live band. The 2018 Gala Committee co-chairs are Athena T. Adamson and Teresa Nardozzi.
