Theatre with a Twist Inc. in collaboration with Lexingtons’ Revolutionary Revelry is proud to present their upcoming production of “The Redcoats are Coming”, an original play written by Jane Ross (a descendant of Abner Hosmer of Acton). This story outlines a day in the life of Abner Hosmer and Luther Blanchard on April 19, 1775 as they march off to defend themselves and their land. It is the Battle of Lexington, fought in Concord by the Acton Minutemen! Lead by Captain Isaac Davis, Hosmer and Blanchard help to lead the way to independence. This story
throws descendants of the Hosmer family back in time to relive the events that lead up to the American Revolution as a means to educate generations to come.
This lovely story also allows us to see the importance of passing on stories and history from generation to generation and to keep our heritage alive. Jane
Ross has created this piece of literature to teach others about the American Revolution and to show the importance of the Town of Acton and Lexington in the
workings of the beginning of Independence. The show will be performed Thursday May 24th at 7pm at the Kennedy School Hall, 1995 Massachusetts Ave., Lexington MA. Tickets are $10 students/seniors, $12 adults and are available at the door. Visit www.theatrewithatwist.org for more info on this show and all our other productions.
