Where Westport Meets the World: Mark Shanahan, Artistic Director of the Westport Country Playhouse

Westport’s own Dan Woog brings his popular blog “06880: Where Westport Meets the World” to life, via the Verso Studios at The Westport Library – recorded LIVE in the Trefz Forum! His guest this week is Mark Shanahan, an accomplished writer, actor, and the artistic director of the Westport Country Playhouse. The Playhouse is a non-profit that produces theater from playwrights, actors, directors, and designers of all backgrounds, while entertaining audiences and exploring human and societal issues along the way. Shanahan assumed the position of artistic director in February 2024. Since 2018, Shanahan has been the curator of the Playhouse’s popular Script In Hand series, a special experience which brings together actors, audience, and the director to create a unique, collaborative production that, in Shanahan’s words, “gives us a chance to unearth and re-examine plays and to investigate what theater means to us.” For more information on Shanahan’s work as a writer, director, and actor, visit mark-shanahan.net.
