Curtains Open in Time for the 90th Anniversary of the Westport Country Playhouse
The Westport Country Playhouse opened their doors Tuesday night for the first time since before the pandemic - celebrating the return of the world class theatre house on it's 90th birthday. The Playhouse began this year’s live season with a virtual showing of the film Tiny House, by Michael Gotch and produced by Mark Lamos. The entire film was shot remotely, with the cast filming themselves in their own homes - then sending in the footage to the Editor Dan Scully. Scully then used green screen and digital technologies to blend all of the characters together to make the appearance that they were all in the same place at the same time, all while remaining safe and completely distant.
