WESTPORT COUNTRY PLAYHOUSE YOUTH COUNCIL |

High school students throughout Fairfield County are invited to apply for the just-announced Westport Country Playhouse Youth Council.
Meeting 6 times a year (virtually, to start), members will learn about the workings of a professional theater. They'll also contribute creative solutions for how the Playhouse can broaden its appeal to a more diverse community.
Youth Council members will participate in a speaker series, attend Board of Trustees meetings, create an event, and have behind-the-scenes access to the Playhouse. The application deadline is November 20th.
