I had the chance to see “A Doll’s House“ at Grove City College this past weekend. The talent displayed by students was impeccable. The show is doing so well it has sold out, an extra performance has been added to the run, and even that performance has every seat filled. To those in the cast, well done and break a leg this coming weekend.

If you’re disappointed that you cannot catch “A Doll’s House” this weekend, don’t lose heart. Butler County has plenty of shows opening this weekend for the theater-goer, and something to satisfy the music lover, dancer or charitable soul.
