Panic in Connecticut

October 19, 6:30pm -7:30pm. Panic in Connecticut: Accused Witches Have Their Say

Between 1642 and 1693, at least 40 people in the colony of Connecticut were tried as witches, and at least 10 of them were hanged. Most of them were women. Who were these women? How did they come to be accused of witchcraft? What was life like for them? Did they truly practice witchcraft? Travel back to the 17th century and hear what 5 women accused of witchcraft have to say. Actress Virginia Wolf brings them to life, fully costumed, fully incensed, fully frightened. Painstakingly researched, Panic in Connecticut: Accused Witches Have Their Say is a one woman show that sheds light on the Puritan society that condemned so-called witches to their death 30 years before the hysterics of Salem, Massachusetts. A performance by Virginia Wolf of Herstory Theater in the Webb House Barn.

Members: $20 / General Public: $25/ Webb Barn/ Reception: 6:00pm.
