What better way to celebrate an anniversary than with a love story? That’s exactly what The Edge Ensemble Theater Company will do this month to honor three decades of professional local theater. The ensemble will be offering seven performances of John Patrick Shanley’s “Italian American Reconciliation” at Heberton Hall.

The Keene-based Edge Ensemble, founded in 1989, has been producing “vital, life-enhancing works of the theater,” namely plays, staged readings, educational events and workshops. Kim Dupuis founded the company with actor/director/producer/playwright Scot Tolman. Their initial goal was to produce at least one annual show, but the group wound up producing more sporadically.
