That's the challenge the Apron Theater Company & Next Stage Arts Project have set for themselves in presenting “Eleemosynary,” the final production in the 2014 season. Hallie Flower, the production's director, says the title, “though intimidating, is a real English word.” (Merriam-Webster defines eleemosynary as an adjective meaning “of, relating to, or dependent on charity; charitable.”) “I myself only now have...
