For the past eight years, with the exception of last year, local judges and lawyers have performed a play centered around a real-life crime event that occurred in Bastrop County at the turn of the 20th century.
The plays, which are historically-accurate portrayals of murders and trials in the county, help fund the Bastrop County Bar Association’s Bobby Jenkins Scholarships, which assist high school students in the county with paying for college.
While the 2020 edition of the play was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, the seventh edition of the play is set for later this month as live theater has returned with the reopening of the Bastrop Opera House in September.
