Everyone is Irish in March! See The Wee Heavies live at Westport Playhouse on St. Patrick's Day, March 17. The Wee Heavies are the real deal! They are a (mostly) a cappella band who are drawn to the music of Ireland and Scotland because they felt they could all really relate to the main themes of traditional Celtic music: drinking, working, fighting, love, and drinking. Join them on St. Patrick's Day as they pick up a frosty glass, reminisce about the days of the Jacobite rebellion, and sing in earth-shaking, heart-rending four-part harmony. Beer specials and prizes for those in festive green attire. Audience: 18+; Tickets: $20.

This hilarious and soulful one-woman stage play introduces the audience to a "star" making her long awaited return to the stage after a hiatus induced by a global pandemic. In "More Upbeat," it's the second night of her new show. As she arrives at her dressing room backstage she receives a critic's review leaving her wondering if she still has it. Can she be a little more up beat to please the critics? It's a rollercoaster of internal dialogue, monologue, comedy, upbeat and spine-chilling songs. This is an elaborately directed story of affirming one's self to redemption. Encore! Theater Group presents More Upbeat directed by Atiera Currie starring Lauron Linnae Thompson. The show is at 7:30 p.m.on March 24, 25 & 26. Audience: All ages; Tickets: $25.
