Middlesex County Historical Society

ARTFARM invites you to “Women of Wisdom”, a Tea and Community Dialog celebrating the voices of octogenarian women, on June 27 at the Middlesex County Historical Society.&nbsp;

The event will take place outdoors from 1 to 3 pm behind the Historical Society, which is located at 151 Main Street in Middletown. Tea and snacks will be served, and ARTFARM Executive Artistic Director Marcella Trowbridge will initiate the dialog by posing a few conversation-stimulating questions to the panel of impactful local women. A free-ranging discussion will follow on life, aging, what matters, and what you wish you knew when you were younger.

ARTFARM, a Middletown-based non-profit professional theater company, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026. The company staged Shakespeare’s Argument in the garden of the Historical Society in 2001, and since that time has offered dozens of Shakespeare productions, original plays, circuses and events to the local community as well as touring throughout New England, to Europe and to Sri Lanka. ARTFARM cultivates high-quality theater with a commitment to simple living, environmental sustainability and social justice and is dedicated to presenting professional classic and original theater and circus, modeling and promoting sustainable living, offering workshops, performance opportunities, expressive and healing arts and other educational programs to adults and young people in the community, and providing education and promoting community dialog through and with the performing arts.&nbsp;
The company is currently in rehearsal for an expansive and immersive original production which will be performed at Indian Hill Cemetery in September.

“Women of Wisdom” is a unique opportunity to share the knowledge of some of the special older women in our community, and is also a fund raiser to celebrate ARTFARM’s 25th Birthday. Tickets for the event are on a sliding scale from $25 - $80 and may be purchased at <a href="https://www.art-farm.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">www.art-farm.org</a>. Seating is limited, and reservations are strongly recommended. “Women of Wisdom” is presented in partnership with the Middlesex County Historical Society, which is celebrating its 125th Anniversary.

For more information, contact ARTFARM at (860) 346-4390 or email info@art-farm.org.
