The next two Mondays, our very talented One Act team will be performing their play, "And Others" for the public! The audience will be taken on a journey through the mind and memory of Amanda, a 26-year-old woman with a multiple-personality disorder that resulted from a trauma she suffered at thirteen. When someone tells you to do something, you do it...
**For parents of young children, be aware that this play is a serious drama that does entail some simulated violence.**
