This Month’s Issue:
When our staff first discussed this month’s story on outdoor dramas, many of us lit up with childhood memories of high-end productions under the stars. These dramas showcase our state’s history, becoming a bit of history themselves in the telling. Find one this summer in this month's issue. Also in this issue, we share an update on the library from our June 2016 cover.
