🎭🚨 Opening Week Is Here! 🚨🎭

After months of rehearsals, Ken Ludwig's "The Game's Afoot!" finally opens this Thursday, with performances on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday!

Join us for a hilarious and thrilling murder mystery packed with suspicious characters, shocking twists, and plenty of festive chaos. But when murder strikes, there's only one person who can crack the case...

🔍 Inspector Goring 🔍

The detective charged with solving the mystery, Inspector Goring may not always appear to have everything under control. A little absent-minded, occasionally distracted, and perhaps not quite what you'd expect from a master detective, she often leaves those around her wondering if she's missed the obvious clue.

But underestimate Inspector Goring at your peril...🕵🏻‍♂️

Beneath the seemingly ditsy exterior lies a razor-sharp mind, and one thing is certain: she always gets her culprit. Whether it's a man or a woman, nobody escapes Inspector Goring for long! 👀

Can she unravel the mystery before it's too late?

Sharp-witted, glamorous, and never one to miss a juicy piece of gossip, Daria Chase is at the heart of the mystery in The Game's Afoot by Ken Ludwig.

Today we're shining the spotlight on Simon Bright🕵🏻‍♂️

At first glance, Simon appears quiet, shy, and perhaps a little out of place amongst the larger-than-life personalities gathered at William Gillette's country house. But in a mystery where everyone has something to hide, appearances can be deceiving...

There's something undeniably mysterious about Simon. Is he simply a nervous guest caught up in extraordinary circumstances, or is there more to him than meets the eye? 👀
