Live theater inside gillette castle!

Osaki-san, William Gillette's Gentleman Valet
April 23 - 26 and April 30 - May 3, 2026

We are thrilled to announce that in partnership with the East Haddam Stage Company, we will be hosting live theater inside the Castle in 2026. You can enjoy the poignant and fascinating tale of Yukitaka Osaki, the young Japanese immigrant who rose from humble cabin-boy to be William Gillette's right hand man.

Shows will be Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m., with 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday matinees.

Tickets will go on sale to members at the Aunt Polly membership level and above shortly, and to the general public one week later. We expect this show to sell out, so watch this space for more news! Please support our efforts to tell the fascinating story of Yukitaka Osaki. Choose the Aunt Polly membership level or above to be one of the first to get tickets to this powerful performance.
