Broadway at the Stratford Library

Are you excited about the Tony nominations coming out in May? Do you use your time in the shower to belt out "Cabaret"? Could you have been a toe-tapping, high-stepping Broadway babe in a previous life? Then we have a few suggestions for you. First of all, take a trip down to the library on Thursday or Friday to see the terrific collection of Broadway books and DVDs that we have.

Piano scores for Broadway favorites? We got 'em. DVDs capturing terrific stage performances of classics like Oklahoma, Rent, and Fosse? Yes, yes, yes. Come on in and indulge your Broadway fantasies with a little help from the library.

And as a second act... Please join us this Saturday, April 24, at our annual fundraiser for the library's book collection, Broadway Comes to Stratford. It's like a festive cocktail party with performances by Broadway vocalists and musicians. It's always fun, always sparkly, and it supports our library. (So, for example, we could add even more Broadway treasures to our music and DVD collection!)

If you'd like be a guest at this annual event to benefit the library, call Heather at 203.385.4166. Tickets start at $75. Contributions are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Seating is limited and reservations are required.

The library will be closed to the public this weekend so we can set up and host this special event. Our hours this week are Monday - Thursday, 10 am - 8 pm, Friday 10 am - 5 pm, and then reopening as usual on Monday morning at 10 am.
