This year’s Booked for the Evening honoree Adam Gopnick is in for an incredible treat. He’ll hear his words read by a charming quintet of voices complimented by Westport songtress Susan Terry.
While she may be best known for her role as one of seven brides, Jane Powell will be one of five readers. This versatile actress and star of stage and screen is gracing the library by her appearance. She’ll be joined by Westport Playhouse Artistic Director and actor Mark Lamos whose film credits include Longtime Companion and whose play direction has won or been nominated for just about any award you can mention in the theatre. Rounding out the group will be American playwright Tina Howe, a Tony Award nominee for her play Costal Disturbances, George Guidall, who is an Audie Award recipient for his narration of over 800 audio books, and Mark Shanahan who earned rave reviews for his recent performance in Around the World in Eighty Days at the Westport Playhouse.
Please join us for this remarkable event. You can read more about Jane Powell in her autobiography The Girl Next Door and How She Grew.
