The Hart Theatre Organization has sprung to life this Holiday Season

Written by Estella “Star” Guerra, special to the Hillsboro Herald

It has been quite a busy and exciting time the past few weeks at Hillsboro Artist’s Regional Theatre! HART, as the organization is more commonly known, and its staff and volunteers recently participated for the first time in the Hillsboro Holly Days celebration. It was a great success with Santa (@SantaCleClause) welcoming people to the theatre at the corner of 2nd and Washington, where a great photo holiday backdrop was set up. Santa had his dog “Magic: AKA Walter, with him, who is a beautiful retriever. Members of HART dressed up as elves and helpers and made the scene magical.ย  Also, Gil of ParkerPup was at the event, entertaining folks who were waiting to get a photo with Santa.ย  HART was also a toy drop-off site for theย KGW Toy Drive.ย ย
