Theater Performs ‘Haunting of Hill House’ as Fundraiser

A benefit performance of a play based on Shirley Jackson’s 1963 novel “The Haunting of Hill House” will be held at The Aux Dog Theater, said Liberal Arts graduate and play director Lori Stewart.

The money raised at the Halloween night performance will be donated to the theater for renovations and day-to-day expenses, said Stewart.

“Just the utility cost alone on a building that size is outra­geous,” Stewart said.

This special performance will include a costume contest, she said.

“School/Bank Connection Could Lead to Student Mistrust”

And as many studies have shown, there are far too many folks in New Mexico and across the country who do not have any bank accounts or banking services whatsoever.
