This production is directed by Richard Russo.

The Papermaker is presented Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays August 25 - September 9 at Your Theatre, Willow Common, 1857 White Mountain Highway, North Conway.  All performances begin at 7:30 PM

'I hope people may see themselves in thejourney of the two families. And have empathy for the human condition,' said Wood.  'For our friends, our enemies, everyone.'" bangordailynews.com
