Brian Hutchison and Andrea Maulella will join the previously announced Tony Award winner Shuler Hensley, Keir Dullea, Ross Bickell, and Bill Phillips in the Westport Country Playhouse’s reading of Sidney Howard’s They Knew What They Wanted, to be directed by Joanne Woodward at 7pm on Monday, November 10.

The play tells the story of Tony (Hensley), an aging, Italian-born vineyard owner in Napa Valley who marries a young waitress after sending him a photo of his handsome foreman, Joe. The work was later adapted into the award-winning Broadway musical The Most Happy Fella.

Tickets are $15 and can be ordered by calling 203-227-4177 or visiting www.westportplayhouse.org.
