Tonight is the opening night for I am Joan Sullivan: A Theatrical Experience! We are delighted to bring you this brand-new production featuring some bright local talent.
In I Am Joan Sullivan, meet the former Irish Catholic indentured servant of merchant John Turner, who built The House of the Seven Gables in 1668, and her new master, turbulent Quaker merchant Thomas Maule, as she sues for her freedom from his alleged abuse. Explore the trials of a young immigrant woman with little to no agency in America where she was considered a second class citizen because of her ethnicity, gender, and faith, long before the immigrant struggle of the 19th and 20th centuries that inspired our founder, Caroline Emmerton, in her original settlement mission.
This play will take place in a tavern setting, with a cash bar available, but all ages are welcome to come and learn the little known history of Joan Sullivan.
