This production would be rated PG-13 due to content and some language. This is a powerful play with strong dialogue and dark historical content, and is not suitable for young children.
Admission will be $12 a person. Doors will open 30 minutes early for seating.
Visitors can park in the parking lot next to the old restaurant building. Space in front of the Grange is reserved for handicap parking only.
The seating capacity of World Under Wonder Playhouse is 130; organizers recommend that once tickets become available online, it is best to reserve a spot beforehand.
A Q&A session will take place after the final production for one hour to discuss the play, the theatre, and the topics being presented in the play and how they were presented. After each show, the director will be available to discuss future productions and events, and would love to hear what the audience would like to have done at the theatre, all according to a newsletter.
