      Curtains

When a supremely untalented musical theater star is murdered after her 
disastrous opening night, Lt. Frank Cioffi locks down the theater to 
investigate. A musical theater fan himself, the lieutenant braves danger 
to solve the case, save the show, and maybe even get the girl. This 
musical is "deadly fun!"

Music by John Kander - Lyrics by Fred Ebb - Book by Rupert Holmes

Directed by Marc C. Howard
Musical Direction by D. Keith Stiver
