July 8 - August 16, 2026 THE WILD PARTY Book, Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa Directed by SEAN HARRIS, Choreographed by DARLENE ZOLLER, Music Direction by COLIN BRITT The Wild Party plunges audiences into the heart of the roaring 1920s, where jazz, lust, and danger collide. Queenie and Burrs are a dysfunctional couple of vaudeville performers whose relationship teeters on the brink. In an attempt to salvage their passion, they throw a lavish, anything-goes party in their Manhattan apartment. The parade of colorful and unpredictable guests includes a provocative stranger who catches Queenie’s eye and ignites Burrs’ jealousy. What begins as a night of carefree indulgence turns into a tense and dangerous game where loyalties are tested, secrets come to light, and relationships spiral out of control. This darkly brilliant show offers a captivating look at the dangers of excess, love, and betrayal, set to a sensational jazz score. "The show boasts a stridently pulsating score – an inspired melding of Elmer Bernstein’s jazzy-noir soundtracks and Kander and Ebb’s brassy cynicism.” - New York Post

Please join us for this hike with TRLC volunteer Dave Mogul through beautiful forested woods in this Granby Land Trust property. The hike is about 3–3.5 miles, and it’s expected to take 2.5–3.5 hours, depending on our group’s pace. The difficulty level is between beginner and intermediate, with a few stretches of elevation gain and some terrain that’s rocky and/or has multiple roots on the trail. There are also a few small streams to ford, with bridges over the larger ones. Hiking poles will be helpful for those needing help navigating uneven terrain. We’ll depart at 9:00 a.m. from the parking area. There are a limited number of spaces in that lot, but ample room on the shoulders of the road. Please be aware that it’s likely that mosquitos and other insects will be joining us on the hike, so you may want to bring bug spray. With Enders Falls only about a 5-min drive from the parking lot, you may be interested in a side trip there after our hike, with access to various waterfalls not far from their parking area. Alternate date of Aug 15 if we need to reschedule. Contact Dave Mogul at [email protected] with any questions. Co-sponsored by Simsbury Land Trust.
