The Park Theatre, 19 Main St., Jaffrey, will present “The Butcher Boy,” Tuesday, March 15, from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

Francie and Joe live the usual playful, fantasy-filled childhoods of normal boys. However, with a violent, alcoholic father and a manic depressive, suicidal mother, the pressure on Francie to grow up is immense. When Francie’s world turns to madness, he tries to counter it with further insanity, with dire consequences.

Tickets are $5. For information send email to boxoffice@theparktheatre.org or call 603-532-8888.
