Living Well in Litchfield County, Connecticut

Live, Learn, and Lunch

Live, Learn, and Lunch: How CT Thumbed its Nose at Prohibition with Amazing Tales, Mike Allen

12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
Free. Donations Welcome
* Pre-registration required for lunch count.

When the U.S. decided that alcohol was no longer benefiting society, every state – except two – voted to amend to the Constitution to outlaw the manufacturing and sale of liquor. Connecticut did not support
the change and many persons in CT found creative means around the law. Long Island Sound afforded numerous opportunities for rum runners and bootleggers to smuggle alcohol into Connecticut and it was
consumed throughout the entire state, in hundreds of speakeasies, with very few federal officers assigned to enforce the ban. Hear the whole story at this presentation.

A highly inventive adaptation of this classic––in this version, we encounter a company of traveling players about to enact the Dickens story. The troupe soon discovers that the actors playing Scrooge and Tiny Tim have abandoned the tour, but the show must go on! The prop boy eagerly volunteers for the part of Tim, while the cynical stage manager is drafted to play the old miser. The rag tag players quickly become the characters of the story, and we are pulled into the life of Ebenezer Scrooge.
