Connecticut Playhouse Names Campus in Honor of Howard J. Aibel

In recognition of a $3 million gift from Howard J. Aibel, Westport Country Playhouse will name its entire campus “The Howard J. Aibel Theater Center at Westport Country Playhouse.”

"I have found live theater to be life transformative," said Mr. Aibel, who is an active member of the Playhouse board of trustees and currently serves as vice chair.

"His generosity of spirit and his deep understanding of the needs of non-profit sustainability are now evident in the tremendous generosity of this extraordinary gift," said Playhouse artistic director Mark Lamos. "This is not only financial sustenance; it is spiritual sustainability—his belief now enabling us to create the highest level of work."
