Natchez Little Theatre — Attraction in Natchez

A friend and I came to Natchez to escape the chaos and noise of life and looked forward to seeing the matinee to get a flavor of the city. It was obvious when we drove up that the theater is a very small production with probably little to no funds to operate on.
