The Sauk, Hillsdale County's community theatre, has reunited the cast of this summers production of "Sauk Shorts" to record them and make them available for streaming online NOVEMBER 5-8.
"We had such fun performing the show this summer at the Slayton Arboretum in Hillsdale," said Sauk Executive Director Trinity Bird. "The audience was so supportive at the show. However, we knew the Covid pandemic prevented many people from seeing the production. We wanted to find a way to make the show available for anyone who wanted to see it."
The entire cast and crew reunited in small groups to record the 11 short plays in various locations around the county.
"The playwrights were extremely supportive of our idea and because of their support we can present the entire slate of plays that were presented this summer," Bird added.
