New Hampshire's Community Theater Festival

Groups from around the state will compete this weekend at the 35th Annual New Hampshire Festival of Community Theater. The guidelines are strict: each troupe has 10 minutes to set up, 60 minutes to perform, and 10 minutes to strike. The winners will move on to a regional competition and the opportunity to compete in the nationals. Tonight on the Front Porch, we'll talk with some of the groups about their upcoming performances and how community theater differs throughout the state.

We'll talk with:

Mariah Herlihy -- Chair of Actor's Circle Theater in Peterborough. She's directing "Sure Thing" by David Ives

John Sefel -- Artistic Director of Ghostlight Theater Company in Salem, NH. He's directing "One Flea Spare" by Naomi Walllace.

Amy Friedman -- Member of ActorsSingers in Nashua. She's directing "I Never Saw Another Butterfly" by Celeste Raspanti.
