SUMMARY:Wilton Children’s Theater 2018-2019 Online Registration Closes Aug. 31
DESCRIPTION:The Wilton Children’s Theater is offering registration for its school-year shows\, online now through August 31. The two shows this year are Annie\, with performances Nov. 16\, 17 and 18\, 2018 and Disney’s\nThe Little Mermaid\, with performances March 15\, 16\, and 17\, 2019. \nIn addition\, in-person registration will take place on Wednesday and Thursday\, Sept. 5 and 6\, from 5-7 p.m. in the Middlebrook Cafeteria. \nWilton Children’s Theater is truly a Wilton tradition; founded in 1976\, WCT is proud to begin its 42nd season! \nSchool-year shows are open to Wilton children who will be in 4th-8th grade during the 2018-19 school year. Students must choose one show\, and all registration happens now; there is no later registration for the March show. Rehearsals for both shows are from 4:30-6:30 p.m. in the Middlebrook Auditorium. For Annie\, rehearsals are Tuesdays\, Wednesdays and Fridays from September through the last show\, and for Disney’s The Little Mermaid\, rehearsals are Mondays\, Wednesdays and Fridays from January through the last show. \nWCT hires professional directors\, music directors\, and choreographers for its shows\, most who have worked with the organization for many years. More dates and details can be found on the website. \nLast year\, the organization put on Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka in November\, and Oliver! in March. The shows were very popular with audiences and actors alike. \nWCT Board vice president Andrea Bates says\, “I love to see the camaraderie and teamwork between all the students in the show. The older ones help the younger ones\, and it’s a great way for kids to get to know each other\, and then know children in all of the schools. Plus\, everyone learns that regardless of the size of your part\,\nit’s fun to go to rehearsal each day\, be with your friends\, and be onstage and part of the big numbers.”

SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Fashion Exhibition:  A Century of Style: 1860 - 1960
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the upcoming New York Fashion Week\, the Wilton Historical Society is presenting a fashion exhibition\, A Century of Style: 1860 – 1960\, which will open on Saturday\, Aug. 25\, and run through Oct. 6. Decade by decade\, the exhibition traces evolving styles in women’s special occasion garb. \nFrom an all-white cotton lace flounced dress suitable for a tea party in a garden to a Jackie Kennedy-esque beige A-line with rhinestone accented bow\, an Edwardian bridesmaid dress with train to a sophisticated wasp-waisted 1940s dress with matching custom-made suede shoes\, style trends are captured in these carefully saved clothes which had special significance to their owners. \nAlso on display are an acid-green\, silk\, high-necked gown with black netting and jet beads from the late 1880s\, which came from the Elizabeth Ambler Estate\, and was possibly worn by Betty Ambler’s grandmother. Lady Mary Crawley of Downton Abbey would have looked stunning in the black chiffon flapper dress accented with rhinestones for a night on the town. A display of purses and women’s shoes rounds out the show. \nThe exhibition was developed by the Wilton Historical Society\, Pamela Hovland\, and Megan Smith-Harris.

SUMMARY:Booked for Lunch: 97 Orchard Street: An Edible History of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenemant
DESCRIPTION:Looking for a great read\, something engaging and informative? \nCome to “Booked for Lunch\,” A History Reading Group at the Wilton Historical Society discussing 97 Orchard Street: An Edible history of Five Immigrant Families in One New York Tenement by Jane Ziegelman \n“The story…about Old World habits clashing and ultimately melding with new American ones\, is familiar. But Ms. Ziegelman is a patient scholar and a graceful writer\, and she rummages in these families’ histories and larders to smart\, chewy effect.” –Dwight Garner\, The New York Times \nIn 97 Orchard Street\, Ziegelman explores the culinary life that was the heart and soul of New York’s Lower East Side around the turn of the twentieth century–a city within a city\, where Germans\, Irish\, Italians\, and Eastern European Jews attempted to forge a new life. Through the experiences of five families\, all of them residents of 97 Orchard Street (now the Tenement Museum)\, she takes readers on a vivid and unforgettable tour\, from impossibly cramped tenement apartments down dimly lit stairwells where children played and neighbors socialized\, beyond the front stoops where immigrant housewives found respite and company\, and out into the hubbub of the dirty\, teeming streets. Includes 40 recipes. \n“Highly entertaining and deceptively ambitious\, the book resurrects the juicy details of breakfast\, lunch and dinner (recipes included) consumed by poor and working-class New Yorkers a century and more ago. It could well have been subtitled “How the Other Half Ate”…Ziegelman adroitly works her way through the decades and her five cuisines. Along the way\, there are fascinating diversions.” —The New York Times Book Review \n“Social history is\, most elementally\, food history. Jane Ziegelman had the great idea to zero in on one Lower East Side tenement building\, and through it she has crafted a unique and aromatic narrative of New York’s immigrant culture: with bread in the oven\, steam rising from pots\, and the family gathering round.” — Russell Shorto\, author of The Island at the Center of the World \nParticipants bring a brown bag lunch\, the Society provides a beverage and dessert. There is no charge\, but please register by email or by calling 203.762.7257.

SUMMARY:A Century of Style: 1860 – 1960 Exhibition Celebration\, Guest of Honor\, Jade Hobson\, former style editor at Vogue Magazine
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, Sept. 8 from 3:30-4:30 p.m.\, head to the Wilton Historical Society for a glass of something bubbly\, and a look at a century’s worth of women’s special occasion fashions. Inspired by the upcoming New York Fashion Week (Sept. 5-12)\, the event will toast the fashion exhibition “A Century of Style:  1860-1960.” Guest of Honor is Wilton’s Jade Hobson\, former style editor of Vogue Magazine\, who may be persuaded to share a story or two of her own experiences at Fashion Week. The exhibition runs through Oct. 6. All are invited. No charge. \nAbout the exhibition:\nThe Wilton Historical Society is presenting a fashion exhibition\, “A Century of Style: 1860-1960\,” open through Oct. 6. Decade by decade\, the exhibition traces evolving styles in women’s special occasion garb. From an all-white cotton lace flounced dress suitable for a tea party in a garden to a Jackie Kennedy-esque black A-line with satin bow\, an Edwardian bridesmaid dress with train to a sophisticated wasp-waisted 1940s dress with matching custom-made suede shoes\, style trends are captured in these carefully saved clothes which had special significance to their owners. Also on display are an acid-green silk high-necked gown with black netting and jet beads from the late 1880s which came from the Elizabeth Ambler Estate\, and was possibly worn by Betty Ambler’s grandmother. Lady Mary Crawley of Downton Abbey would have looked stunning in the stunning black chiffon flapper dress accented with rhinestones for a night on the town. A display of purses and women’s shoes rounds out the show. \nThe exhibition was developed by the Wilton Historical Society\, Pamela Hovland\, and Megan Smith-Harris.
