Heartwood Theater's musical, "The Legend of Jim Cullen," opened to a full house on July 19 under a waxing, almost full moon.
The play, written by Griff Braley is a complex and compelling work based on the true story of Jim Cullen, lynched in Mapleton, Maine on April 30, 1873. The lynching is believed to be the only one to have occurred in New England.
