Around the Hearth: An Original Play About the Ball-Sellers House

Join us for an original play about the oldest structure in the county, the Ball-Sellers House, a farmhouse built around 1750. Washington Liberty Grads, Layla Johnson and Matteo Hope researched, wrote, produced, and directed this play in 2024 for their high school and now will produce it at the Ball-Sellers House to help celebrate our 50th year since the house was donated to the Arlington Historical Society by Marian Sellers.

This play depicts scenes from the lives of the residents of the house from the Ball family to the Powell family. If you saw it at WLHS in 2024, it has been revised with a some new scenes.

There is no better location for this play than at the Ball-Sellers House. Bring your chair or blanket and prepare for a fabulous night out under the wisteria watching history unfold in front of you. Light summer refreshments provided. The cost is free but donations are always welcome
