Images: #TBT Gallery looks back at suburban theater
In this week's #TBT Gallery, we take a look back at fall play productions at various high schools and local theater groups in the suburbs.
The photos, mostly from the mid 1970s, give us a glimpse of theater life, the variety of productions offered and the excitement of the local acting talent.
