One of the final events of the tercentennial celebration is being presented this weekend.
A collection of four living pictures, or tableaux vivants, will be presented on the stage of Newtown High School on Saturday, October 1. Performances of âTableaux Vivants: 300 Years of Newtown History in Living Picturesâ will be at 2 and 7 pm in the high school auditorium.
In addition to the four tableaux, a collection of vaudeville-style performances â or olios, another old-fashioned element â will offer musical diversions in front of the curtain while scenery is being changed between tableaux.
More than 100 residents have volunteered to participate in the event, which has been in the works for over a year.
Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children and seniors if purchased in advance.
Tickets are available at C.H. Booth Library, Drug Center Pharmacy, Lexington Gardens, and Newtown High School.
All tickets will be $10 at the door.
Additional details and a few more photos are available on page A-12.
