Impossible But True
Join Rip Van Winkle and a spirited bunch of townies as they write their own version of the American Revolution!
Get Ready for Impossible But True, a rollicking evening of immersive theater and song is back–brought to you by Brooklyn Tavern Theater.
It’s 1775 and word of the coming American Revolution arrives in a small village in the Catskills—but is it possible? Or just a crazy idea?
Loosely following the story of Rip Van Winkle, a troupe of 9 actors and a pianist take us on a journey through the American Revolution seen from the point of view of Rip’s village. There will be war, ghostly explorers, gnomes, flip and much more. Join us!
Come early at 6:45-7:25pm (2:15-2:55 for Sunday matinee) to the Old Stone House for a free sample of FLIP–the most popular tavern drink in the colonies! Our flipmaster Kim will be set up at the Old Stone Oven to the right of the museum entrance.
Fraunces Tavern is a historic tavern open during Revolutionary days–George Washington is said to have eaten there. This will be a brunch event, beginning at 1pm.
The Maple Grove Cemetery performance is in a beautiful room with glass windows overlooking the cemetery.
