"Something's Afoot," pokes light hearted fun at the murder mystery genre,
touching all the well known detective story favorites and substituting humor
and fun end of the road devices for all the well know ones. Performances are
scheduled for February 8, 9, 15, 16, 17*, 22 & 23 with book, music and
lyrics by James McDonald, David Vos and Robert Gerlach and additional music
by Ed Linderman. 

While all about poking fun at traditional murder mysteries (and even paying
a little homage to them) the story involves a group of people who are
invited to the lake estate of Lord Dudley Rancour. When the wealthy lord is
found dead, its a race against the clock to find out whodunit. Nominated for
the Oliver Award as Best Musical of the Year, the show immediately makes it
clear, "The Butler Didn't Do It," and is sure to provide a uniquely
entertaining and laugh filled evening. Stranded during a raging thunderstorm
(like in all good mysterys), one by one the guests are picked off by odd,
yet cleverly fiendish and amusing devices (shrunken heads shooting poison
darts, etc). Filled with booby-traps and belted songs this hilarious spoof
hums along as the audience plays armchair detective to a zany cast of
characters.

organization and one of the longest running theater troupes in the area.
