About the Show

Based on a true story, Sybil Under the Stars is about 16 year old Sybil Luddington whose midnight ride during the Revolutionary War helped save Connecticut form a British Invasion by sea.

One spring night in 1777, 16-year-old Sybil Luddington is awakened by urgent news, the Revolution needs a hero. With no one suspecting a young girl, Sybil and her horse, Star, ride through the night to rally the militia, embarking on a brave and unforgettable journey. This new play for young audiences tells the inspiring, likely true story of Sybil’s 40-mile midnight ride to warn Patriot forces of a British attack. Though her heroism helped protect her community and earned praise from leaders like George Washington, her story remained largely unrecognized for years. Sybil Under the Stars celebrates courage, resilience, and the extraordinary impact of a young girl who answered the call.
