Mulgrave Road Theatre’s production of SPIN had a successful opening Friday, April 29th in Guysborough. At the conclusion of the performance, playwright Emmy Alcorn received much praise and congratulations from those in attendance. Under the direction of Joanne Miller, SPIN has been described as a powerful, thought-provoking and modern drama that encourages the audience to question the many faces of gambling.
