Join us for an evening of history and culture as we invite audiences to a dramatic reading from LUCY BOYLE’S latest play, titled GOODY GARLICK. In 1658, Thirty five years before allegations of witchcraft swept through Salem, Massachusetts sparking the infamous witch hunt, there was a trial here on the East End of Long Island that rocked the village of East Hampton. Meet Goody Garlick! Featuring a cast of incredible actors including, JENNIFER MUDGE, CHRISTOPHER HENRY COFFEY, and REILLY ROSE, LOLA LAMA, MATTHEW SCHIAVONI, and joined by her incredible director SHERYL KALLER, Boyle takes audiences back in time with a modern perspective of the events unfolding.
In addition to the reading, local historian HUGH KING will share with us the true story of the East End woman, Elizabeth Garlick, who stood accused of witchcraft, being marked responsible for a string of mysterious occurrences and a death in the then English settlement. Hugh’s intimate knowledge of Goody was inspired by the book It Were As Well to Please The Devil as Anger Him, by Lorretta Orion, his late wife. In collaboration with the East Hampton Historical Society, Hugh will lead a walking tour on Saturday, October 19th. More information for the walking tour can be found here.
This reading and discussion kicks off The Church’s Fall festival, a full weekend of Spooky spirited activities and events. Join us as we welcome the beloved Sag Harbor Halloween spirit to our village.
