Marriage, Taxes, and a Dose of Rebellion – Dinner & A Show at the Meeting House!
May 19, 2016 | 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
$40Event Navigation
Local author Martha Lufkin will perform her original, one-act comedy, “Marriage is Taxing,” during a fun-filled evening at Old South Meeting House. This comedy takes its inspiration from the documented rush to marry in the weeks before the infamous Stamp Act took effect in 1765 – to avoid the impending tax on marriage certificates. What can go awry when an odd assortment of characters race against time to say their vows? This performance will take place on the 250th anniversary of Bostonians’ celebration of the Stamp Act’s repeal. Be prepared to enjoy some delightful surprises and tasty fare in a stunning historic space!
Ticket price includes a light supper, beverages, and dessert.
