2024 Musical "A Deck Of Ferry Tales"

At the Shelter Island Historical Society (SIHS), our commitment lies in preserving the artifacts, records, and stories that define the unique history of our island. Through exhibits, research, educational programs, and performances, we strive to foster a sense of welcome and connection within our community.

Since 2021, our annual summer musical has played a pivotal role in embodying the essence of Shelter Island's rich history. These performances breathe life into captivating storylines, evoking cherished moments from various periods in our Island's past. Crafted by local talent Lisa Shaw, the shows offer a diverse representation of our community, spanning decades and demographics. The dedicated cast and crew, composed entirely of volunteers, return each year to showcase their talents on stage. These musicals serve as both an educational tool for those less familiar with our history and a nostalgic journey for long-time residents.

This year’s production is “A Deck of Ferry Tales.” We are thrilled to bring you the captivating stories of the "Shelter Island Ferry Company," focusing on the boats and crew who shuttled us across the waters in 1962.

Tickets are $75 for adults and $25 for children under 12.

Please note that all tickets are non-refundable but may be exchanged for another performance. Thank you for supporting the Shelter Island Historical Society!
