(The Thing at Raritan Landing) Request: 1150
Sponsor: Other: Middlesex County Division of Histor When: 10/19/2023 Starts 7:00 pm

From the folks who brought you THE WOLF OF WASHINGTON FORGE comes THE THING AT RARITAN LANDING! Centuries before a cylindrical spacecraft famously crashed on a farm in Grovers Mills, something horrific hurtled to a field in central New Netherland. In a journal entry dated October 30th, 1688, exactly 250 years before the war at West Windsor, the mayor of a small river town, later named Raritan "Landing" in recognition of this dramatic occurrence, gives a detailed account of the strange events that set the province of New Netherland abuzz. From a giant smoking saucer in the village square to a test of humanity in the town church, The X Files has nothing on this 17th century tale of alien invasion. But these Men In Black wear capotains and doublets not business suits. Join the villagers as they track this outer space invader, with the ability to change shape at will, who has infiltrated their quiet settlement. Before it kills again! It could be any one of them. It might be the cobbler, the gunsmith, the wheelwright. It might be you! Whose blood will crawl away from the hot needle, so to speak? Find out, my friends! Find out! Free tickets available October 1st.
