History:
The First Production: The Tavern By Skip Ploss

In the summer of 1937, G.Evans Hubbard was a busy man. He had just recently founded a single-sheet weekly called The Wilton Bulletin and, as a leading member of the Wilton Community, wanted to do a benefit for the Wilton Red Cross.

But what to do?

Luckily he was living in a community that had a great deal of artistic talent. There were groups doing shows and concerts at St. Matthews Church, The Congregational Church and just over the border in Norwalk “Theatre in the Woods” was importing New York talent for it’s alfresco greek-style theatre (located between Belden Hill, Old Belden Hill and Gristmill Rd at the top of “Super” 7). Maybe Wilton could “put on a show”?
