Gina Gershon to speak at verso fest in Westport, Connecticut in March 2026

Actress and author Gina Gershon will take the stage at The Westport Library on March 28 as part of VersoFest 2026, sharing stories from her new memoir, AlphaPussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs.

Gershon will be joined in conversation by award-winning journalist and rock memoirist Alisyn Camerota during the 5 p.m. event in the library’s Trefz Forum. Tickets are $35 and include a copy of the book.
