02/02/2014:  Special Screening of the play “Defending Lizzie”: Join us for a video showing of Karen Poulsen’s play “Defending Lizzie,”  which was performed recently at the Little Theater of New Smyrna Beach. In 1892 Lizzie Borden of Fall River, Massachusetts was accused of one of the worst crimes in New England.  This play, written by the Little Theatre's own Karen Poulsen, takes a fresh approach to the story behind Lizzie and her family. In 1930, Lizzie’s diary is discovered revealing an inside look at the Borden household between 1865 and 1892. Tensions arise when her stepmother’s family begins to profit from her father’s money. Strange incidents occur, beginning with a theft in broad daylight, suspicions of poison, and threats against Lizzie’s father. The suspense continues right up to the very end when revealing information is uncovered.
