It’s a “farcical look at navigating life with anxiety” — which we all seem to need right now. Click here for tickets, and more information.

Matt Panos sends today’s “Westport … Naturally” image, with this comment:
“I’ve never submitted a picture before, but then again I don’t live in Westport anymore.
“I was back in town for Staples High School’s Class of 1974 50th reunion. It was fabulous: ~120 classmates, of which about 117 do not live in Westport, descended upon our former hometown.
“As I headed back to Arizona, I took one last drive around and just had to snap a few photos. No trees in Phoenix like this one on Old Hill Road! It was a great weekend of memories.”
