1."Souvenir" at the Westport Community Theatre, Saturday, April 12.
Wealthy eccentric Florence Foster Jenkins suffered under the delusion that she was a great soprano – when she was, in fact, incapable of carrying a tune. Nevertheless, performs the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton hotel, and mobs of fans pack her recitals, stuffing handkerchiefs in their mouths to stifle their laughter. The wild ride culminates in a single concert at Carnegie Hall in 1944. $20. 110 Myrtle Ave.
