| Westport
and Weston have often been called the Beverly Hills of
the East, a star-spangled community of Broadway and Hollywood
luminaries. Stage and screen performers have sought out
and settled in this area for decades, and this devotion
to the performing arts is strong and broadly popular.
The Westport Country Playhouse remains America’s
foremost summer theater, and the Levitt Pavilion for the
Performing Arts hosts nightly entertainment free-of-charge.
