Film Screening with Director, Robert Steven Williams Thursday, June 1st at 6:00pm Registration begins May 1st F. Scott Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, has become synonymous with the lifestyle of the rich and famous on Long Island. But what if that connection is false? The argument that the real West and East Egg can be found on the other side of Long Island Sound is brilliantly argued in the 2020 documentary, GATSBY IN CONNECTICUT: The Untold Story. Featuring Sam Waterston and narrated by Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey), the documentary was selected by The New Yorker as one of the best movies of 2020. The 100-minute program includes a postscreening discussion with the award-winning director, Robert Steven Williams.   Thursday, May 11th at 6:30

Presented by Connecticut Historical Society Thursday, June 15th at 6:30 Registration begins June 1st From colonial to modern times, how did Connecticans tie the knot? How did they celebrate? What did they wear? And how did some of our cherished wedding customs originate? This program uses CHS’s extensive collection of wedding clothing, accessories, photographs and prints to examine some of our ideas about what makes a “traditional” wedding, and what those traditions can reveal about how ideas about marriage have changed through the years.
