Since June 29, 1931, the Westport Country Playhouse has produced over 800 plays throughout its long history creating a rich legacy of plays by renowned playwrights and a "who’s who" of acclaimed actors who have graced its stage. From the moment we saw our first play there, All My Sons starring Richard Dreyfus and Jill Clayburgh in 2003, we were hooked on the Westport Country Playhouse and its high-quality performances. Throughout the years we have experienced an astounding number of outstanding plays there that have entertained, educated, and sometimes challenged the audience, which is the purpose of live theatre.

With the COVID-19 epidemic closing theatres for the 2020 season, planning for the 2021 season brought new challenges to the Westport Country Playhouse, however with "show must go on" thinking, to celebrate their 90^th anniversary, Artistic Director Mark Lamos selected playwright Michael Gotch’s play, Tiny House, which was filmed remotely with the actors in their individual homes on "green screen," then with the magic of a talented creative team, merged the actors’ scenes with the scenery. Tiny House is a virtual performance that celebrates creative success and the talents of the cast and creative team.

To celebrate their 90^th anniversary, the Westport Country Playhouse had a one-night only in-person screening of Tiny House on Tuesday, June 29, 2021, that began with a pre-screening reception followed by anniversary cake and champagne at intermission. It felt wonderful to be "back home" in the theatre, if even for only one night.

The play, Tiny House, focuses on a young couple played by Sara Blues as Sam and Denver Milord as her husband Nick, who want to escape from the conflicts of the world by building a remote tiny house in the woods. Hilarity ensues when their nearest neighbors in the woods stop by to visit, namely the elder-hippie neighbors Win played by Stephen Pelinski and his wife Carol played Kathleen Pirkl-Tague who dress in Medieval clothing, and their survivalist, apocalyptic neighbor Bernard played by Hassan El-Amin who is ready for the end of the world.

It appears that all is well if not a bit wacky at Sam and Nick’s tiny house, which fits them just fine, until mama comes to visit for the Fourth of July toting Uncle Larry along, played by Elizabeth Heflin as Sam’s mother Billie, and Lee E. Ernst as Larry. When these seven characters meet one another at the tiny house in the woods, conflicts and secrets fly fast and furious with delectable dialogue and hilarity.
