Hey! I'm Gray, and have been doing theater for about four years at Jackson High School! The "Course" shows were some of my favorites, so I'm super excited to be involved in the Conklin Theater Company!
Our story began in 2017. Linda and Frisk had heard of a story that captivated them. The unsolved murders of the Crouch Family. They wanted a way to share what they had found with the community, so they decided to write a play. Over the coarse of a year and a half they wrote for hours, combing through old books and journals of the events that happened.
They had four performances planned, and on the second week ticket sales were open they had sold out.
