KAXE | By Heidi Holtan
Published August 16, 2019 at 12:18 PM CDT

Today in our Strong Women series on KAXE/KBXE we met Ashley Hanson and Joy Dolo.  They are in Grand Rapids this week learning about the town and working with local actors to put together a production at the Reif Center tonight, August 16th at 7pm.  It's the fictionalized story of the ruby slippers getting stolen, and a whole lot more - community identity, loss.... besides this production with Sod House Theater and PlaceBased Productions , both of these Strong Women have a passion for the work they do, you'll want to take a listen to our conversation!
