Songwriting team Joe Masteroff, Jerry Bock, and Sheldon Harnick will participate in a “Sunday Symposium” at the Westport Country Playhouse following the April 25 matinee performance of their musical She Loves Me, currently performing at the theater.

Masteroff, who wrote the book for She Loves Me won a Tony Award for Cabaret. Music for She Loves Me is by Bock and lyrics by Harnick, who as a team also wrote Fiorello!, winner of Broadway’s triple crown: Tony Award, New York Critics’ Circle Award and Pulitzer Prize for drama; and Fiddler on the Roof, which won nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The Playhouse Sunday Symposium program, free and open to the public, provides the audience with guest speakers’ in-depth insights and observations about the production, followed by an interactive dialogue. David Kennedy will moderate.
