Helen Ford who went on to become one of Broadway’s most famous actresses played the lead role of Helen. Ironically, Helen Ford was born in Troy, NY.

Local historian Don Rittner and European theater director Justyna Kostek have teamed up to present for the first time performance of this play about Troy IN Troy!
