Terra Nova is the story of the ill-fated Antarctic expedition of Robert Falcon Scott. Author Ted Tally employs an ingenious combination of reality, fantasy and memory to capture the mood
and personalities crucial to this compelling study of heroism in the face of bitter failure.
The Longmont Theatre will be holding a coat and blanket drive during the run of the show. Please bring in gently used (or new!) coats and blankets that we can distribute to local shelters and aide organizations. Cash donations are also welcome.
