“It’s a lot of fun. It’s very
witty,” said Elaine Lucas, a
volunteer member of the
Ipswich Museum board.
Webster, the former New
Hampshire and Massachusetts
congressman and later
Secretary of State, was engaged
as the detective to ferret out the
murderer. In the real murder
mystery, Webster, a renowned
defense attorney, served as
the prosecutor. The famous
man’s portrait, walking stick
and desk are prominently
displayed today in the Ipswich
Museum.
Played by Carl Shultz,
Webster engages the audience
as a “Committee of Vigilance.”
This committee will decide
who murdered White in
what Webster would describe
as “a cool, calculating,
moneymaking murder.”
That means each performance
may end differently with the
audience pointing the finger
at a different suspect. This
technique requires significant
degrees of improvisation by

Americans honor the flag
this year on Friday, April 14.
That is the date in 1777 that
the Continental Congress
adopted the stars and stripes
as the flag of the young
country.
The origin of the first
American flag is unknown.
Some historians believe
it was designed by New
Jersey Congressman Francis
Hopkinson and sewn by
Philadelphia seamstress Betsy
Ross.
The idea for an annual
day specifically celebrating
the flag is believed to have
originated in 1885, when BJ

Destination Salem described
Goodnight Captain White
as “Rich with innuendo,
and relies on a talented cast
for improv and audience
interaction.”
The non-profit History Alive
was formed in 1992, when
it opened its on-going play
about the Salem witch trials,
Cry Innocent. It is committed
to the production of new plays
and theatrical scenarios based
on true stories from the past.
Cigrand, a schoolteacher, had
his students in the Fredonia,
WI, public school to observe
June 14 as ‘Flag Birthday’.
On June 14, 1889, George
Balch, a kindergarten teacher
in New York City, planned
appropriate ceremonies for
the students, and his idea of
observing Flag Day was later
adopted by the State Board of
Education of New York. On
