Comedic possibilities abound, but so do <br /> lessons in acceptance. <br /> The same scripted lines will be used for each permutation, but much <br /> improvisation will also occur, as the actors and musicians will encourage and <br /> respond to audience participation. We are also planning on young children <br /> participating as a band of 12 squirrels who swoop in and out of the scenes.

I am fine with that: the most <br /> obvious area for an audience to sit or stand is clearly off the path, on the Western <br /> side of the castle. <br /> Members of The Hillsborough Arts Council, responsible for organizing Last <br /> Fridays, have also pointed out that the Churton Street Access Improvement <br /> Project will be under way in 2017. They very much like that Rap'unzel will lead <br /> people towards the Riverwalk, away from Churton Street, which will be under <br /> construction. <br /> WHY <br /> Hillsborough is home to theatrical company The Orange Community Players. <br /> Right now they produce two shows a year, and cannot do more.
