In this classic story, the humble residents of fictional Grover’s Corners, NH explore the trials of life, love and loss in profound and unforgettable ways. This unique SBA production will present the traditional Stage Manager character embodied by four actresses, each representing a different element of the character. The simplicity and scope of this play will be sure to spark your imagination and touch your heart. Showtimes - 7 pm Thurs.-Sat. and 2:30 pm on Sunday. Tickets are $8 or $10 at the door.
