For Farm and Family
Friday, September 27 at 7:30 p.m., Little Theater on the Farm presents a new, full-length play, written and produced by local playwright Warren Schultz with the support of a LARAC grant.

Will the family be able to keep the farm in the family for another generation or will the equipment, herd, and land be auctioned off to make way for a big box store. A surprising family secret holds the answer. Little Theater is located at 27 Plum Rd., Fort Edward. Recommended donation, adults $8, farmers, $5.
