<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This fun-filled, family friendly show will only be presented one time and marks the first live Hudson Players production since the pandemic curtailed most local
live entertainment options back in March of 2020.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“The Hudson Players family is very excited to be back on stage live with this old-style melodrama,” said Michelle Dolciato, president of the Hudson Players.
“We had originally planned to perform this show back in October as a joint production with Case-Barlow Farm, but postponed the event due to Covid. A lot has changed since then and performing at the First & Main Green will be a great way to re-introduce live
theatre to our Hudson audience.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Dolciato says that Hudson Players’ 2021-2022 season also will be revealed as part of the June 19<sup>th</sup> event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:106%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">“We have had quite a few people ask what shows we will be doing this year,” said Dolciato. “I would encourage everyone to come cheer the hero and boo the villain
during the one-act melodrama and then stick around to hear the three great shows we will be producing this year at the Barlow Community Center theatre for our 77<sup>th</sup> season.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>
