WESTPORT–Westport Country Playhouse will present Alec Baldwin and Stephanie Zimbalist in “The Fitzgeralds: A Reading with Music” on Saturday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m.  Portions of the proceeds from this fundraising event will support the Joanne Woodward Internship Program and educational programming at the Playhouse.

“The Fitzgeralds: A Reading with Music” marks the centennial of the April 2025 publication of “The Great Gatsby.” 

“The Fitzgeralds: A Reading with Music” looks at the Gatsby creator through the extraordinary correspondence between F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald — letters that reveal a relationship shaped by ambition, artistry, and emotional complexity. Using words they wrote, the work shows two singular voices whose love and conflict fueled some of the most iconic writing of the 20th century.

Originally devised by Steve Lawson and directed by Stephen Hamilton, the reading will feature an original live score by composer/performer Forrest Gray.
