Village Postmaster at Opera House Worthy Rural Drama
The Village Postmaster at the Opera House drew a fair audience for the first of three performances. Archie Boyd led a capable cast in a story set in 1850 showing village politics, romance, and a plot to ruin a minister’s son, with strong stagecraft and period costumes and two more shows scheduled.
