“The Flat Iron Lot” at Pontine Theatre

The Season closes March 20 – 29, with Pontine Theatre’s original staging of Alice Brown’s short story, “The Flat Iron Lot,” published in 1899. Set in the fictional town of Tiverton (based on Brown’s home town of Hampton Falls, NH), the story chronicles a rural New England community’s celebration of its 250th anniversary. With fits and starts, contention and compromise, the residents organize historical reenactments, a grand parade, and speeches from civic leaders and the town’s beloved unofficial historian. In the end the townspeople share a reinvigorated sense of civic pride and appreciation for the shared heritage with binds them as a community. Performances are Friday Saturday & Sunday @2pm  Purchase tickets at Pontine’s website: www.pontine.org
