Coney Island-Now, Then Forever @ Green-Wood: 1/9-1/24

lostingreenwoodhts

Come experience the thrill of Coney Island and the pleasure of Victorian Toy Theater with Magic, Music and Mermaids on a winter afternoon in the warm and cozy Historic Chapel at Green-Wood!

Coney Island–Now, Then & Forever, is an exciting multi-media show that celebrates the history and legends of Coney Island here at Green-Wood. Combining music, Victorian Mermaids, hand-carved marionettes and storytelling, these shows will bring life and depth to many of Coney’s legendary showmen (and Green-Wood permanent residents) including Charles Feltman, inventor of the hot dog; George Tilyou, Steeplechase Park founder; and Mile-a-Minute Murphy, 19th-century bicyclist who raced a locomotive–and won!

These shows, produced in collaboration with The Puppeteer’s Cooperative, The Czech-American Marionette Theatre and Cosmic Bicycle Theatre, will delight guests and provide food for thought as New Yorkers, again, find Coney Island in the news.

And on display:
A special exhibition of Coney Island memorabilia from The Green-Wood Historic Fund archives AND the newly re-discovered Dreamland Bell!
