Dr. Darla Shaw portrays Geraldine Farrar, the toast of the Metropolitan Opera and a “ravishing beauty”, who performed internationally for 20 years in over 80 different countries. After she lost her voice, she became a silent movie star. Later she moved to Ridgefield and helped with the war effort and served on the Military Transport Corps.
Ridgefield’s Director of Social Services Tony Phillips describes how his department, with the assistance of many volunteers and donations from a variety of sources, has worked to meet the needs of dozens of families whose lives have been upended by the Covid-19 pandemic. Normal programs of food distribution had to be redesigned and new clients assisted.
