The First Congregational Church will host production of “A Forum,” an interactive play, on April 9 at 6:30 p.m, in Thacher Hall located next to the church. 

A free meal will be offered before the play begins. 

“A Forum” is an original production designed and directed by Sarah Ploskina, presented in collaboration with Bridgewater State University. 

Audience members will have a chance to interact with the characters as the play explores the problems surrounding banning books. 

Those in attendance can freeze the action, ask characters questions, examine key moments or even temporarily step into a character's role. 

Audience members are also welcome to simply watch. 

The First Congregational Church is located at 11 Gibbs Ave.
