In what was supposed to be a year of celebrating 100 years of the Palace Theatre, mother nature had a different plan. The winter storm and low temperatures on January 24-26 damaged  The Palace Theatre on the Square, putting a damper on plans and closing the theatre for several months.

Misery opened on the Playhouse stage October 11. It was promoted as part of the Palace Theatre’s spooky season of spine-tingling experiences. The horror themed play elicits a delicious dish of dire dread.
