SUMMARY:OUR TOWN by Thornton Wilder
DESCRIPTION:Thornton Wilder’s 1938 Pulitzer Prize-winning play\, Our Town\, is a timeless exploration of the human experience. Set in the fictionalized small town of Grover’s Corners\, New Hampshire\, between 1901 and 1913\, it follows the daily routines\, loves\, and tragedies of the Gibbs and Webb families. The play is famously performed with limited stage scenery and almost no props\, using pantomime to encourage audiences to focus on the universal themes rather than design. We’ve selected Our Town for this season to highlight the 250th celebration by focusing on small town America\, and specifically “Our Town” of New Canaan.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Haven: Myths of America
DESCRIPTION:New Haven in 1776 — Patriots\, Loyalists\, and the people caught between them. \nA Broken Umbrella Theatre stages the Revolution as the town actually met it: not as settled history\, but as an argument the city was still having with itself. Audiences move room to room through the Blake Street Center in Westville\, entering in small groups over roughly 30 minutes. \nThis October is a work-in-progress showing — a first draft put in front of an audience on purpose\, ahead of a full production in 2027. A Broken Umbrella has spent seventeen years making original theatre out of New Haven’s history\, and for the 250th the company went at the myths themselves: who gets remembered as a patriot\, who gets written out\, and what a town does while it decides. \nSchedule\n\nFriday\, October 16 — 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, October 17 — 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM\nSunday\, October 18 — 2:00 PM\nThursday\, October 22 — 7:30 PM\nFriday\, October 23 — 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, October 24 — 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM\n\nAdmission\nPay what you can\, with a suggested donation of $17.76 — chosen for the year\, not the price. Tickets are available at any price point. \nGood to know\n\nAll ages welcome; 10 and up recommended\, since audiences stand and move throughout.\nElevator access\, seating\, and mobility accommodations are available.\nEntry is staggered in small groups\, so please reserve a specific time. Capacity is limited.\n\nDetails and reservations

SUMMARY:Battle of Ridgefield Bus Tour
DESCRIPTION:Battle of Ridgefield 250th approaches; Bus tour to explore battlefield route and new discoveries \nAs the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Ridgefield approaches\, the Ridgefield Historical Society is offering a rare opportunity to travel the route of the British troops and hear firsthand about archaeological discoveries that have transformed our understanding of the battle. \n\nBattlefield historian and archaeologist Dr. David Naumec\, who worked on the Ridgefield Historical Society’s two National Park Service battlefield research projects\, will narrate a bus tour following the route taken by British troops from Danbury through Ridgefield on April 27\, 1777. Along the way\, he will highlight key engagements\, archaeological discoveries\, and new evidence that has expanded knowledge of how the Battle of Ridgefield unfolded. \nThe Battle of Ridgefield Bus Tour will take place Sunday\, Oct. 18\, starting at 10 a.m. from the Scott House\, 4 Sunset Lane. Space aboard the bus is very limited\, making this a special opportunity to experience the battlefield landscape with one of the historians directly involved in its recent investigation. The tour is expected to last about 90 minutes. \nThe Scott House itself has a connection to the events of April 27\, 1777. In its original location on Main Street\, the 1714 saltbox stood near some of the heaviest fighting of the battle. Today\, as headquarters of the Ridgefield Historical Society\, it sits within another area associated with the battle. \n\nA historian\, archaeologist and museum consultant\, Dr. Naumec was named Historic New England’s Revolution 250 Research Scholar\, studying New England’s Indigenous and African American Revolutionary War veterans. A graduate of UConn\, he holds a master’s degree in History and Museum Studies from Tufts University and a PhD in Race and Ethnicity in Early America through the Civil War from Clark University. His research interests include Native American history\, colonial North America\, Connecticut history and battlefield archaeology. He is museum manager of the Captain Nathaniel B. Palmer House and Lighthouse Museum with Historic Stonington. \nTickets are limited\, nonrefundable\, and are expected to sell out quickly
