(Sunday November 13th is a special 2:00 pm matinee) Written by multiple Tony Award winner Rupert Holmes, Thumbs is another hit from the genius behind the Broadway smash hits, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Curtains and Accomplice. Set in an isolated cabin in the Vermont mountains during ski season, Thumbs is a comic mystery about two women from different walks of life who come face to face with a devilishly clever murderer, the likes of which has not been seen before. This is an ingenious murder-mystery with an uproarious farcical twist.
