2010 Season
The Hard Bargain Players are pleased to announce our 2010 season. As it is our tradition at the Theatre in the Woods, we again feature plays that are off the beaten path, plays that ask questions and allow our patrons to come up with the answers. Plays are subject to change based on availability of royalties and other factors beyond our control.
