Pines is in the center of a pretty
big circle that offers no stage
productions. It has a wide terri
tory to draw from. Judging from
Wednesday night’s turn-out, the
people want to see actors in the

ies are en tour these days. Why
not entice a few of them here,
to vary the fare offered the Car

comedy drama, “Post Road,”
which was written by a native of
