The Dance Theatre of Harlem came to the Westport Country Playhouse on Sunday, March 30, to benefit the Bridgeport-based Neighborhood Studios of Fairfield County, a nonprofit arts school for children and older students, including challenged and at-risk youths. The pre-performance reception was sponsored by the Fairfield County chapter of The Links, Inc., and its president, Bernicestine McLeod Bailey. The Links is an international not-for-profit corporation comprising some 12,000 women, providing a wide range of art, cultural, educational, health and human services to transform the lives of children in need, in Fairfield County and around the world.
President McLeod Bailey and I supported this year’s performance by the Dance Theatre of Harlem.
