Pontiac Community Players to present “Hilda’s Yard” in January

Local theatre troupe the Pontiac Community Players has another production in the works that will be hitting the stage at Pontiac High School in the new year. Director Val Twolan-Graham explained that the group has been working on their latest play “Hilda’s Yard” by Norm Foster since August. The cast of 6 actors as well as several crew are a mix of community theatre veterans and relative newcomers.

She explained that the play is a family comedy featuring couple Hilda and Sam Fluck going about their business with their grown-up children freshly out of the house. However, their tranquility is disturbed by a series of hilarious interruptions.

Twolan-Graham said that she has been interested in producing a play by Norm Foster for quite some time, and added that “Hilda’s Yard” was a good fit because of the simplicity of the set.

The play will be shown at the Pontiac High School auditorium from January 18 to 21 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 and are currently available at Hursty’s Bar & Grill (368 Main Street, Shawville) and Pontiac High School (455 Maple Street, Shawville).
