Madison Historical Society
1918 – 1930
Copies of four black and white photographs of the performance of either "Midsummer Night's Dream" or "The Princess in the Fairy Tale", put on by the Woodland Garden Plays.Madison was home to the country's earliest summer theater. In 1918, Constance Grenelle Wilcox and Alice B. Keating founded the Woodland Garden Plays. The first performances were held in the woods behind the Wilcox home on Island Avenue, but later moved into an old barn on the property, called the "Playbarn". The plays were popular fundraisers for charitable causes including post WWI relief, the Madison Historical Society and the preservation of the Lee Academy.
