Comedian and theater artist Kristina Wong utilizes humor and joy to explore challenging topics. Her latest solo show has evolved from her role as a self-proclaimed “food bank influencer.” With irreverent commentary, Wong shines a light on the American food distribution system. How has a food bank, conceived as an emergency temporary solution to a crisis, turned into a regular source of food for so many?

Wong was a 2022 Pulitzer Prize finalist in drama for Kristina Wong, Sweatshop Overlord. That show tells the story of how she accidentally founded the Auntie Sewing Squad, a national network of volunteers who created homemade masks in the early months of the COVID epidemic, in a time of rising anti-Asian bigotry. Her earlier solo shows include Wong Flew Over the Cuckoo’s NestGoing Green the Wong WayThe Wong Street Journal, and Kristina Wong for Public Office.

The Quick Center for the Arts is excited to be partnering with the Marion Peckham Egan School of Nursing and Health Studies to offer companion programming with this event including panel discussions, workshops, and ways to make an impact on our community. More details will be added to this page later this summer.

The upcoming 250th Celebration is a time to learn about and reflect on our country’s past. It’s a time to look at the examples of liberty, courage, and sacrifice, while reckoning with this moment of injustice, and racism.

We need to acknowledge our country’s past and the stories of the men of color, which includes Native Americans, who were enslaved, indentured, freed, and free at the time of the war!

While introducing us to the invisible men of color of the Revolution, Sandi Brewster-Walker will explore some of the men of color stories, before, during, and after the American Revolution.

Comedian Vic DiBitetto — the “Italian Hurricane” — churns energy, honesty and humanity into nonstop laughter. He’s been called a cross between Rodney Dangerfield and Ralph Kramden. The bottom line is, DiBitetto leaves his audiences breathless with laughter.

He prowls the stage like a Tiger. He holds no hostages. He says what you are thinking but are afraid to say out loud. Oh…and he’s beyond hysterical!

Vic is currently a cast member of the Amazon Prime TV Series Gravesend.

You’ve never seen anything like Vic DiBitetto on stage. So see him on stage LIVE at Westport Country Playhouse!
