Arts Spotlight - Stories from the Pandemic: The Edge Ensemble

During the Month of October Arts Alive is collecting stories from performing arts organizations across the Monadnock Region to ask - how are you holding up? This is the first of three stories this month that will highlight the innovations, inspiration, hope, and connection these organizations are still fostering, even in difficult times. We started with Keene State College’s Redfern Arts Center, and followed it with updates from The Peterborough Players. We wrap up this series with The Edge Ensemble of Keene, NH. The Edge Ensemble Theatre Company was founded in 1989 by Founding Artistic Director, Kim Dupuis. Our present home is Heberton Hall at the Keene Public Library. Ensemble members are drawn from Keene and the surrounding area.
