The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940

The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop (during which three chorus girls were murdered by the mysterious “Stage Door Slasher”) assemble for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy “angel.” Comic mayhem ensues when the infamous “Slasher” makes his reappearance and strikes again — and again. As the composer, lyricist, actors and director prepare their performance and a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight and accusing fingers point in all directions. An ingenious and wildly comic romp poking fun at the more ridiculous aspects of “show biz” and the corny thrillers of Hollywood’s heyday, the play is a non-stop barrage of laughter as those assembled (or at least those who aren’t killed off) untangle the mystery of the “Stage Door Slasher.” “…a kind of crossbreeding of Charles Ludlam (The Mystery of Irma Vep) and Terrence McNally, seasoned with a soupçon of Noises Off.” —The New York Times. “…enormous fun…Its strength comes in part from the sheer diamond wit and diamante showbiz glitter of Bishop’s writing. Even his corn is succulently served.” —New York Post. “…Bishop gives us a nakedly silly

Songs of the Civil War

Civil War heroine Arabella Barlow, born in Somerville in 1824, a great-granddaughter of the Wallace family of Wallace House who hosted George Washington’s winter headquarters and Hardenbergh family of Old Dutch Parsonage who served in New Jersey’s Provincial Congress and Militia in the Revolutionary War, offers one of the “mystic chords of memory” uniting New Jersey’s contributions to the United States from the American Revolution to the Civil War. For Arabella Barlow’s 200th Birthday, hear the recruiting songs that urged young men to sign up to fight, the anthems that inspired them and the musical complaints about the food and conditions they endured such as "Army Beans", "Hard Crackers, Come Again No More" and "Goober Peas". Historical musician and balladeer Linda Russell also includes the ballads about the yearning for home and the loved ones left behind. Admission is free. Bring your own lawn chairs and blankets for this outdoors performance. This program is part of a series made possible the Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage Association with the sponsorship of New Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
