When the cast and crew of The Witness bring their production to the Mena High School Performing Arts Center this Saturday, November 16th,there will be some familiar faces on stage. You might recognize some of the young men in the Roman guard costumes as well as a handful of children surrounding the actor who plays Jesus in the production. “We enjoy including these impromptu additions to our seasoned cast members,” relays Witness director Judy McEarl, “Their enthusiasm is contagious and often helps the audience connect with the performance.”
