‘The Fiery Sword of Justice’ Performance Rescheduled for June 3

“The Fiery Sword of Justice”, a comedy about how one business woman’s compulsive truth-telling torpedoed her career, will be staged at the Ancram Opera House as a benefit for the Roeliff Jansen Commuity Library.

Here’s some info from the library about the performance:

The play is written and performed by Lauren Lettelier. After a decades-long career in New York as an award-winning communications executive, Lauren is now a Hillsdale-based writer, actor, and voice artist as well as a volunteer at the library both at the circulation desk and on committees.

“The Fiery Sword of Justice” received rave reviews at the 2014 New York International Fringe Festival, where critics called it “Bold, funny, wise and brave … cannot be missed!” (StageBuddy.com); “An enlightening piece of work … wicked, sharp and funny!” (T2Conline.com) and “The most original piece … at the Fringe” (NYTheaterGuide.com).
