Friday night’s 50th anniversary celebration of Staples Players was spectacular — but it was just a curtain-raiser for Sunday’s affair.
Over 200 Players alumni — actors, dancers, singers, tech crew and more — will gather at 5:30 p.m. in the auditorium for a truly legendary evening. Included in the cast: several Broadway veterans (and 2 Tony Award nominees).
A few seats are still available. Click on www.StaplesPlayers.com for details.

Get excited!!!! I know we all are
The show was superb. The alumni came back brilliantly shining and reflecting the glow of their success on the Town of Westport, Staples Players and all the new, young “starlets” who are aspiring to cast their own light in the world.
It was a joy to be there and a proud moment for the whole town that we can promote and asist such excellence in our schools.
In a country where public education is in a deplorable condition, the public schools of Westport are a paragon of how the system should be everywhere in the country.
