This play is a part of the company’s mission to bring theater to the community through education. Recently, they’ve put on productions of Bury the Hatchet, which told the story the infamous Lizzie Borden, and Ladies in Waiting: The Judgement of Henry VIII, in which the controversial king must face his ex-wives in purgatory.
