Autism Speaks held a Theatre Gala at Westport Country Playhouse's production of "A Christmas Carol" on November 30.  The evening, which included a live auction, raised more than $500,000 for Autism Speaks, an organization dedicated to increasing awareness about autism and raising funding to support autism research. Hosting the event were co-chairs Suzanne and Bob Wright, and Laurie Lister and Judd Burstein, honorary co-chairs Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, and Elaine and Christopher Plummer.
