The Tree That Saved Connecticut

Step into a vivid slice of early American history, presented as an engaging radio drama. Listeners are invited to become the voices of colonial leaders, soldiers, and townsfolk, bringing to life the tense summer of 1676 when Connecticut’s governor faces an aggressive New York rival. The script’s detailed stage directions guide you through microphone proximity, crowd sounds, and period dialect, making every line feel like a real‑time broadcast from a 17th‑century fort.

The opening act centers on Governor Treat’s urgent call to arms as three hostile ships appear on the horizon. With crisp dialogue and dramatic cannon fire, the play captures the clash of authority, the resolve of a fledgling colony, and the raw energy of a community defending its charter. It offers a hands‑on experience for anyone curious about colonial politics, the art of radio performance, or simply the thrill of hearing history spoken aloud.
