Tickets are $15.00, and the net proceeds benefit WPKN. The 1972 Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning play, That Championship Season, was regarded as one of the more important plays of its time. After seeing the Broadway production, New York Times critic Clive Barnes wrote, “Mr. Miller has a perfect ear... The coarsely elegant [dialogue goes] along with Mr. Miller’s indictment of a society... and lacerates the sickness of small-town America full of bigotry, double-dealing, racism and hate.” The Westport Community Theater is located at 110 Myrtle Avenue in Westport, Connecticut at the Westport Town Hall. For tickets and directions call 203-226-1983.That Championship Season public performances begin on Friday, September 23 and run through Sunday, October 9.
