VIENNA -The Vienna Historical Society will present three plays that harken back to earlier times. These three plays, “School Days in Vienna,” “Aunt Hannah’s Premonition” and “Violets Forever” will be staged at 7:30 p.m. in Union Hall Thursday, July 29; Friday, July 30, and at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 31.
“School Days in Vienna” takes place in 1885 at the little yellow Porter school which was taken down about a century ago. This play was based on an incident which took place there sometime in the 1885 when one of the pupils reached into his pocket and pulled out a frog while school was in session.
“Aunt Hannah’s Premonition” takes place in the 1925 at the Vienna farmhouse of Eben Comstock (Quimby Robinson) and his wife. Lots (Andrea Braim). Aunt Hannah (Beverly Smith) has had a premonition that the biggest commotion would take place there that day that had ever taken place under that roof. In “Violets Forever” a budding Vienna playwright, Cheryl Herr-Rains, and a host of “ghost writers” add a supernatural dimension to the classic visitors-with-a-surprise theme.
Refreshments will be for sale by the Mill Stream Grange.
Admission is adults, $5; and children under 12, $2.
