SUMMARY:Washington’s Spies Escape Room
DESCRIPTION:As the War for American Independence rages on\, General George Washington must depend on his trusted spy network for key intelligence about British movements.  In our brand-new Escape Room experience where you are one of Washington’s spies\, a fellow spy known simply as “The Lady” left vital plans for you hidden in a strongbox tucked behind the bar in a tavern. Your many clues have been locked up to keep them away from prying eyes. Can you unlock the strongbox and acquire the plans in 60 minutes before you are discovered? Do you have what it takes to complete this mission?  \nThis is a great group activity! Wonderful for birthdays\, company activities\, or a club outing. Fun for the whole family\, this escape room is suitable for children over eight. Children under 15 must be accompanied by an adult.  \nTickets $25. Groups of 2-10 people. Each time slot has ten tickets available. You may be paired with other adventurers who are also ready to take on the challenge. Reservations are required\, select your date and time below. You may make your reservation private for an additional $100 per group. Email programming@westporthistory.org with your phone number included to make your reservation private. Private rooms subject to availability. Reservations close 48 hours prior to their posted start date.  \nTickets are nonrefundable but may be possibly redeemed for another date after scheduling with staff\, depending on availability. In the event you must cancel\, we will consider your purchase a donation and will happily issue you a donation receipt.   \nAll reservations last for 60 minutes\, with the recommendation of arriving 15 minutes prior to your start time. Groups arriving 15 minutes after their reservation start time will have their reservation cancelled.  \nOn-line waiver is required prior to entry into the escape room. Those 17 and under must have the waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

SUMMARY:MoCACT Presents: Dee Dee Bridgewater & Bill Charlap
DESCRIPTION:Two living legends. One piano. One unforgettable voice. \nSome pairings are simply historic. When three-time Grammy winner\, Tony Award–winning Broadway star\, and NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater sits down with Grammy-winning pianist Bill Charlap\, four decades of jazz mastery distill into the most intimate format the music offers: a single voice\, a single piano. In the close quarters of MoCACT’s galleries\, you won’t merely watch their rapport — you’ll feel the telepathy between two artists who finish each other’s phrases. \nBridgewater’s fearless artistry has carried her from the Broadway stage to the world’s great concert halls and a Kennedy Center NEA Jazz Masters honor; Charlap earned his Grammy for The Silver Lining\, his radiant album of Jerome Kern songs with Tony Bennett\, and is revered as one of the most lyrical interpreters of the American Songbook alive. Together they tour behind Elemental — their first duo album and a 2026 Grammy nominee for Best Jazz Vocal Album — reimagining standards with the playful\, soul-deep conversation that comes only from total command of the tradition. An evening of pure craft\, stripped to its essentials.
