  • Youth Theatre at 40: Bravo and encore

    You are only as old as you feel and Youth Theatre of Hardin County hasn’t lost the spring in its step as it celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

    Hardin County has been the fortunate recipient of 40 seasons of quality live entertainment. From its first production of “The Mouse that Roared” in 1972 to its most recent production, last weekend’s “White Christmas,” students have grown up on the stage one performance at a time.

    Praise-worthy series
    The News Enterprise recently took the rather unusual liberty of recognizing its own series about local military heroes in a formal editorial. It was completely justified in doing so.

    Supporting Shaw
    We are fortunate to have Commonwealth’s Attorney Chris Shaw. He can only present what evidence he has. He is a good and decent attorney. I am proud to live in Hardin County and he is part of the reason why. I wish the U.S. Army good luck.
