Theatre Westminster will present Quilters in four performances Thursday-Sunday, April 17-20, in Beeghly Theater.

Theatre Westminster's production is under the direction of Eileen Hendrickson, Westminster College visiting instructor of theatre. Michael Slane, Westminster instructor of theatre, is scenic designer and technical director.
