SUMMARY:Women of the Revolution | Performance Series
DESCRIPTION:History takes center stage in Thames River Heritage Park's six-part performance series\, History Comes Alive in the Park. Through engaging reenactments\, lively debates\, music\, and storytelling\, talented performers will bring historical figures and events to life\, offering audiences a unique opportunity to experience history beyond the pages of a textbook. Meet six heroines including a soldier\, a spy and a seamstress. Though women's stories and their documented contributions to the war for independence are few\, they represent what thousands of women probably did do. Women ran the family farms and businesses while men were away. But they also were camp cooks\, laundresses and nurses\, participating in resistance efforts and\, surprisingly\, they were also spies and soldiers. To get a real sense of women's lives and their war efforts\, Bev will present these women by wearing different hats\, accessories and she will use various vintage props. She will walk her audience through the empowering evolution of women during the Revolution. And what of the courageous women who raised a house frame in Hampton after the men left to join the ranks? Molly Pitcher\, whose real name was Mary Hayes\, who manned the artillery and Private Robert Shirtiff who was Deborah Sampson Garrett and who wore a military outfit although women were barred from joining up. And the stories keep coming. Ticket holders will have access to museum galleries to peruse exhibits prior to each performance! Reception includes light bites\, wine\, and beer. This series is hosted by Thames River Heritage Park Foundation and Lyman Allyn Art Museum. Sponsors include Kitch\, The Day\, Beer'd Brewing Co.\, Grand Wine & Spirits\, and the Nancy Krant and John Olivia Charitable Fund.
