Our final play of the 2025/26 Season

Written by Eddie McPherson Directed by Lorne Seifred

Dolores Gordon has always dreamed of stardom. But the only role she ever seems to land is that of the lowly understudy. So she decides to murder the lead actress. She hides the body in a large wooden trunk, a centerpiece of the production’s murder-mystery set. With a chill, she begins to observe strange things going on among the production’s suspicious and dysfunctional cast.
