The Shepherdstown Chronicle reports that 'Bleeding Kansas,' the inaugural production by the Town Run Theater Company, debuted at the Shepherdstown Opera House last weekend. Set in the turbulent years of 1855-1856, the play explores the political violence surrounding the Kansas-Nebraska Act as George and Kitty Clarke seek a peaceful farming life. Directed by Joe Yates, who has significant experience in local theater, this production emphasizes the relevance of historical conflict in today's society. With performances running through the weekend and a post-show conversation with Professor Jen Murray, the event is poised to attract audience members from Shepherdstown and surrounding areas.
