SOUTHBURY, Conn. -- Whoopi Goldberg is charging $150 to $750 per ticket for her one-woman show "Whoopi -- One Night Only!" to benefit the venerable Westport Country Playhouse in Westport, Conn. on March 2. The 8.30 p.m. performance at the theater is being underwritten by a gift from Putnam Trust, a division of the Bank of New York. Some ticket packages include a private reception with Goldberg and a signed limited edition of an Al Hirschfeld poster.
