Ready for some great theatre just down the street? Those
of you who enjoyed Aurora Studio Theatre productions and classes will be happy to hear we're back with Run Rabbit Run Theatre. Run Rabbit Run has a unique partnership with the Hillsboro Community Association to produce original, affordable, quality shows and performing arts education
right next door! In December, Run Rabbit Run will
premiere Once Upon A CHRISTMAS CAROL , an ode to Charles Dickens that stays true to the hilarity and poignancy of the original. Next July, they will present a Loudoun County Civil War experience: Waterford 's War. They will also be offering classes for youth and adults — from acting and auditions to play writing and stunt work. The goal of every show is to have something for everyone!

Last scene on the Hillsboro stage:  Treasures: The Musical Adventures of Tom Sawyer, with Hillsborian Maxine Bean as the School Marm and Garret Milich as Tom Sawyer.
