ACT OUT: Jane Eyre at Lifeline Through October 26th

Jane Eyre is high on our must see list. The fall theatre season has been so full, we haven't had time to catch it yet, but we've been hearing great things. Also, our friend, Ada Grey (10), youngest critic in town, and her dad are both in it, so there's extra incentive to go. You may remember her as the creepy little girl in The House Theatre's The Iron Stag King, another show she was in with her dad. Many of the Jane Eyre performances, especially weekend shows, are sold out, so don't miss out. Get your tickets today.
