Washington County Theatre will be presenting "The Bottle Tree" by Beth Kander March 9th-11th.
Five years after a school shooting, Alley, the struggling, smart-mouthed teenage sister of the shooter, wrestles with forgiveness, moving forward, and the lingering questions left in the wake of her brother’s crime. Another decade later, as an adult, finding satisfying answers proves no easier. Will she ever find an opportunity for hope and healing, or will the ghosts of her past forever haunt her?
This will be the world community theatre premier!
Tickets: $12 adults, $10 students and seniors.
Saturday Matinee is BOGO
Children 4 and under are free
