EAST HADDAM, Conn., August 6, 2015 - Here's a financial song and dance with a twist: Webster Private Bank and Goodspeed Musicals are teaming up to present a program on estate planning and planned giving. Advice will be shared by financial experts and sung to the tune of Guys and Dolls by returning cast members- with the entertainment focusing on what happens to the characters of Nathan and Adelaide and Sky and Sarah after the musical ends. The gift planning strategies presented focus on Goodspeed donors, who are personally committed to preserve and produce American musical theatre.
