Sitting around a campfire and sharing good stories among friends is reminiscent of what to expect as Ki Theatre launches its new season on Saturday, Oct.. 27.

Now in its Ninth Annual performance, “No Ordinary Person,” showcases four of Rappahannock County’s most notable citizens who come to the stage to tell personal stories that are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and always fascinating.

“No Ordinary Person” has become a signature production of Ki Theatre over the years, thanks to the creative influence of Ki Theatre’s artistic director, Julie Portman, and the show’s long-time director Joyce Abell.
