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:The Monthly Slice: A Conversation with Francis Rosselli of Pepe’s
DESCRIPTION:Imagine sitting down with someone who didn’t just know the story of Frank Pepe’s but lived it! New Haven Museum (NHM) will host a special evening with Francis Rosselli\, grandson of Frank and Filomena Pepe\, for a rare\, personal take on one of the greatest stories of American pizza history on Thursday\, October 1\, 2026\, at 6 p.m. Free with regular museum admission. Register here. The program is the latest in the museum’s “Monthly Slice” series at NHM\, presented in conjunction with the exhibition\, “Pronounced Ah-Beetz.” \nRosselli was immersed in the colorful\, fascinating world of his grandparents’ pizzeria from an early age\, learning the craft of pizza making directly from Frank Pepe himself. In 1981\, Frank and Filomena’s daughters\, Elizabeth and Serafina\, gave Rosselli the opportunity to open a pizzeria next door\, The Spot\, a name that carries a remarkable piece of Pepe history. It was in the original location and oven where Frank and Filomena Pepe began their legendary journey in 1925. \nThe conversation will be moderated by Gorman Bechard\, co-curator of “Pronounced Ah-Beetz” and director of  the documentary\, “Pizza A Love Story.” “Expect great stories\, family memories\, plenty of laughs\, and perhaps even a few moments that tug at the heartstrings\,” Bechard says. The pair will explore plenty of pizza lore\, behind-the-scenes memories\, and the “kinds of details you can’t get from a plaque on a wall.” \nBechard says they’ll also unveil never-before-seen artifacts from the Pepe family legacy that didn’t make it into the New Haven Museum’s “Pronounced Ah-Beetz” exhibit. “Come for the history. Stay for the stories. We promise you’ll leave wanting one of those famous pies!” \nThe “Pronounced Ah-Beetz” exhibition at NHM includes first-hand oral histories and pizza-related artifacts from personal collections\, video footage adapted from the documentary and photographs. The exhibition’s title comes from the way many people mispronounce the word apizza\, which originally grew out of the Italian la pizza. The exhibition will remain on view through October 2027.

SUMMARY:River Gods & Sturdy Yeomen: Connecticut Clothing in the Age of Revolution 1760-1790
DESCRIPTION:During the years prior to the Industrial Revolution\, clothing was considered as necessary protection to the wearer\, a store of value\, and an outward expression of socioeconomic status. Today these garments provide us with an invaluable window into the material culture of past times \nUsing examples of men’s clothing from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History and other collections in the state\, Henry Cooke will examine the interrelationship of fashion\, commerce\, politics\, and technology that were responsible for creating these garments and how they help us to better understand the lives of Connecticut’s early citizens. \nThe Connecticut Museum of Culture and History’s collection of men’s and women’s clothing is unique in the number\, variety and quality items from the mid to late 18th century. Many of the garments are identified to their original wearers\, who range from ordinary citizens to the colonial elite. Their lives would intersect and collide during the Revolutionary era\, as Connecticut’s citizens struggled with the economic\, social and military costs that also found their outward expression in their clothing\, which was preserved as a reminder of that struggle. \nThis program is part of the Museum’s “Made to Last” series\, which pairs items from our collection with modern day artisans who discuss change and tradition in their field of expertise. \nThis program is free\, but spaces are limited. Get free tickets to reserve your spot!
