Community Impact The courtroom can hold 92 audience members, including sitting audience <br />members in the jury box. The cast will be comprised of 15 <br />local actors. For six performances, we could impact around 500 people <br />from Hillsborough and the surrounding area, such as Efland, Cedar Grove, <br />and Chapel Hill/Carrboro. <br />In May 2022, we presented On the Banks of the Eno in courthouses in <br />Hillsborough and Chapel Hill to over 300 people and raised $4500 for the <br />Orange County Historical Museum. The grant we received from OCAC <br />enabled us to pay actors and production staff, and promotional costs. The <br />play also enabled people to experience our historic Orange County <br />courthouses. <br />Artist Experience The Seymour Playwrights have been writing collaboratively for more than <br />four years.
