A Bread Factory News Today

A community arts centre rehearses the play Hecuba, while their town is being invaded by tourists and start-up workers.

At The Bread Factory, they rehearse the Greek play, Hecuba. But the real theatrics are outside the theatre where the town has been invaded by bizarre tourists and mysterious tech start-up workers. There is a new normal in Checkford, if it is even really Checkford any longer.

After 40 years of running community arts centre The Bread Factory, Dorothea (Tyne Daly) and Greta (Elisabeth Henry) are suddenly fighting for survival when a celebrity couple - performance artists from China - come to Checkford and build an enormous complex down the street catapulting big changes in their small town.

The experimental, eclectic arts nonprofit is a labor of love for co-director couple Linda Mussman and Claudia Bruce. It will have a gala on July 1.
