In the Heat of the Night

                                         

  [Ohio Regional Première]

 

              By Matt Pelfrey                       Directed by Brian Zoldessy

 

It is 1962...a hot August night in the small town of Argo, Alabama. A dead white man is discovered, and the local police pick up a black stranger named Virgil Tibbs. The bigoted, white Chief of Police discovers that his prime suspect is in fact a homicide detective from California. As it happens, Tibbs becomes the racially tense community's single hope in solving a brutal murder that is turning up no witnesses, no motives, and no clues. The play (adapted by acclaimed playwright Matt Pelfrey) is based upon John's Ball's award winning book that inspired the Oscar winning film.
