Live Theater at the HMH - Introducing the Harvest Moon Theatre Company!
 Every other year with the help of Anna Murdock, the Harvest Moon Hurrah (HMH) has presented a melodrama as part of its entertainment. In an effort to expand this fall arts festival and to offer more live theater opportunities to the community, the Arts Council is pleased to announce the formation of a new theater company as part of the HMH... The Harvest Moon Theatre Company. This will become a regular part of the HMH each year with non-musical productions such as The Foreigner, and Arsenic and Old Lace, and will compliment the great musical productions put on each summer by the Community Theater. Written and directed by Cami Jensen, The Impossible Mystery is a hilarious "tour de farce" showcasing the talents of many of our more seasoned thespians that will have you guessing and laughing to the final curtain. Performances will be held in the little Theatre at SFHS Wed. Oct. 5 thru Fri. Oct. 7 from 7:00 - 8:15 pm. Tickets are $4 (12 and up), $2 (children), or $20 (Family Pass), and will be available at the door at 6:30 each night.They will also perform a scene from the play during the regular entertainment in the park on Saturday.
