Ramblings

On Saturday, May 12 and Sunday, May 13, Historic Green-Wood Cemetery will present a “world premiere” fundraising theatrical event celebrating the wonderful stories of the people there performed by students at Holy Name School in Windsor Terrace. Called “The Stories Never End, The Love Never Dies,” all proceeds will benefit the Green-Wood Historic Fund efforts and help restore the monument of Charlotte Canda, a seventeen year old girl who died in a tragic accident in 1845....
Among the show’s highlights: students will assume the roles of Henry Chadwick (1824–1908), “The Father of Baseball;” McDonald Clarke (1798-1842) known in his day as “The Mad Poet of Broadway;” and maestro Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) buried atop Battle Hill, the highest point in Brooklyn.
