Seven Cousins for a Horse

A local company, Thrown Stone Theater Company, has just finished the run for its newest play.

The play and the performances got great local reviews. 


Seven Cousins for a Horse is about the prolific portrait painter, Ammi Phillips, who rode around Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York for the fifty years between 1810 and the early 1860s, painting more than 2,000 portraits.  Phillips' portraits today hang in many of the country's best museums.

Interesting bit of history, and sounds like the story has made a good play also.
