Our friends at the Hamilton Memorial Library paid us a visit on Thursday for a special, theatre-themed storytime on the set of "Dear Alien."

Fiona Martin, one of our administrative interns, read "Corduroy Takes a Bow," a classic children's book written by Viola Davis and illustrated by Jody Wheeler. In addition to the storytime, the children got to learn about various behind-the-scenes of theatre, from lighting to set design, as well as the people who make it happen.

Thank you to the Hamilton Memorial Library for your support of Chester Theatre, and more broadly, the power of imagination.
