BIG thanks and orchids go to Miss Ellen Borden, who helped on Sunday with set dressing, and hairdressing for Monday’s nine performances. Ellen is an actual relative of Miss Lizzie and a Jill-of-Many-Trades. Many thanks, Ellen from all the P.E.P. crew!
After the 1992 Lizzie Borden Centennial was but a memory, six people who had met at the event decided to form an armchair sleuth society which would meet about every 8 weeks. Dubbed The Second Street Irregulars in homage to the Sherlockian society, the group would soon form the core of the Pear Essentials Productions troupe, an amateur band of would-be thesbians dedicated to bringing the Borden story to life. The original six would grow over the years, and so did their projects and creative endeavors- from singing costumed quartets to large cast productions at the Second Street house on August 4th. We live what we love.
