In this first Youth Drama at the Rochester Performance & Arts Center, eight incredible Noble High School students will blow you away as you witness the murders, the trial, and the aftermath. This production is deliciously designed - dressed in authentic, antique Victorian and Norwegian costumes and set pieces lovingly collected by local Award-Winning Director, Jenn Batchelder.
