Good morning, Westport.

Broadway star Kelli O’Hara, nominated for eight Tony Awards and winner for Best Actress in The King and I, joined the Westport Library podcast to share her journey from Oklahoma to Broadway — explaining how her career and family ties have shaped her support for local arts.

She discussed her theater roles, her close relationships with local groups like Westport Country Playhouse and Staples Players, and her favorite hangouts in the community.

Westport Country Playhouse held a 50th-anniversary screening of Spielberg’s Jaws on Monday night, attracting hundreds of fans in their themed gear — the event is part of a summer series that includes a play-reading of The Shark is Broken next Monday to share behind-the-scenes stories.

Fifteen Connecticut-based companies appeared on the 2025 Fortune 500 list as announced Monday, and their count remained unchanged from last year — with Cigna ranking highest at No. 13 — showing stable business strength in the state.

Westport's Greens Farms Academy held its commencement today with keynote speaker Renée Elise Goldsberry—an award-winning actress from the original cast of Hamilton and a parent at the school.

Scientists from the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station began catching and testing mosquitoes on Monday at 108 sites statewide through October to monitor for West Nile virus and Eastern equine encephalitis.
