As both a citizen and as a member of the Health & Human Services Commission, we should be thanking the Town Players for what was an educational and totally engaging performance of “Ordinary People.” And as part of the town promotion of the Silver Hill Urgent Assessment program, it was “powerful medicine.” Seeing the show should be mandatory for all 20,000 town citizens. Cast and direction were absolutely spot on for the production. Congratulations.
