THE MTM Players
Spend an Enchanted Evening (or afternoon) with The MTM Players as they whisk you away to The South Pacific with this beloved Rodgers & Hammerstein classic featuring Bali Hai, Younger Than Springtime, You Have to Be Taught, I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy, and of course Some Enchanted Evening. Based on the anecdotes of a real-life U.S. Navy commander who was stationed on an island, South Pacific follows two intercultural love stories: Nellie, a spunky Navy nurse from Arkansas, and Lieutenant Cable who both find themselves struggling to reconcile their own cultural prejudices with their amorous feelings, all while under the dark cloud of a war that is coming ever closer to their island paradise.

Lecture - “The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution”
Thursday, Oct. 16, 1:30-2:30 p.m.
Benjamin Carp will discuss his book The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution. New York City, the strategic center of the Revolutionary War, was the most important place in North America in 1776. That summer, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn the city rather than let the British take it. Shortly after the Crown’s forces took New York City, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground.
It is a free event held in a hybrid format. Visitors may attend in-person in the Visitor Center Auditorium at 1112 River Rd, Washington Crossing, PA 18977 or virtually on Zoom.
