It’s Only a Play
NJ, United StatesIt’s the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews: the excitable playwright; the possibly unstable director; the pill-popping leading lady, and the playwright’s best friend. Add to this a drama critic and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre—and for comedy.

Hulda: The Other Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Hulda: The Other Legend of Sleepy Hollow Hulda: The Other Legend of Sleepy Hollow, previously seen at New York's Old Dutch Church, comes this fall to New Jersey's Old Dutch Parsonage. The churchyard of the Old Dutch Church in Sleepy Hollow, made famous as haunt of the "Headless Horseman" in Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," is resting place for Hulda of Bohemia. Shunned from society as a witch, Hulda would later win acclaim as a Patriot hero of the Revolutionary War. Featuring Carla Lynne Hall, with an original score performed by Jim Keyes, this one-woman show tells the story of Hulda from the perspective of Abby, an enslaved African girl Hulda befriends at a time when both are forced to live on the edges of society. Please bring your own lawn chairs or blankets for this outdoors autumnal dramatic presentation by Carla and Keyes. This program is sponsored by the Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage Association as part of a series “Early Black American Women in Words” observing the 250th anniversary in 2023 of Black American poet Phillis Wheatley’s journey to London in the summer of 1773 and publication of Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral.
