Wassailing the Apple Trees, Terhune Orchards

Sunday January 26, 2025
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Each winter Terhune Orchards follows an ancient Anglo-Saxon tradition of Wassailing the Trees. Wassail is an ancient Saxon word that means "health be to you," and it's the health of the trees that we will celebrate. We ask you to help us make the 2025 season great by joining us on Sunday Jan. 26 from 1-4 p.m. for our annual Wassailing Celebration.

We will gather under the bare branches of our orchard which are over a century old. Handsome Molly dancers dressed in traditional dress of black costumes play an important role in the festivities each year. Kingsessing Morris dancers will also be joining in the dancing with their white garb and festive feathers. Everyone joins in with chanting and music making, toasts of hot cider and placing gifts of cider-soaked bread in the tree branches while chanting the lively words of praise for the New Year. Bring noisemakers— drums, whistles, bells, clackers, or put a few pebbles in an empty coffee can with a lid. These will make a joyful and worthy noise to drive away any and all spirits.

Terhune Orchards is located at 330 Cold Soil Rd., Princeton, NJ

The Clean House, Kelsey Theatre

Sunday January 26, 2025
2:00 PM

In this unique and poignant comedy by Sarah Ruhl, Matilde has come to America from Brazil after losing her parents -- the funniest people in her village. She's been hired by Lane and her husband Charles -- two busy, successful physicians -- to clean their home, but Matilde hates to clean. She'd rather just try to dream up the funniest joke in the world. Lane's sister Virginia loves to clean, so she and Matilde make a secret deal; she'll take care of the cleaning behind Lane's back. Then Charles falls in love with Ana, whose free spirit touches everyone she meets. Soon, everyone's secrets are discovered, loyalties are questioned -- and the four women see their lives changed in ways they couldn't have predicted. PG13
