‘Peabody Pew’ rehearsals under way
The Dorcas Society of Hollis and Buxton’s annual production of “The Old Peabody Pew” is set for 5 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Tory Hill Meetinghouse, intersection of routes 202 and 112, in Buxton.
Ashleigh Morgan and Karla Fossett direct the Christmas romantic comedy again this year. Rehearsals are being held on Sunday afternoons at the church, according to cast member Jane McCarthy.
The two-act play was written by famed children’s author Kate Douglas Wiggin, who founded the Dorcas Society in 1897.
