EVENT: Dover Players Presents Nancy Drew and the Gold Bug Treasure Nancy Drew is back! This July, the Dover Players community theater group presents Nancy Drew and the Gold Bug Treasure, written by Todd Evangelista and Madchen Hirsch and directed by Todd Evangelista. Nancy Drew and the Gold Bug Treasure An old miser named Hawthorne was inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's short story "The Gold Bug" to ask Poe to hide his fortune from his greedy sons so that only the wisest would inherit his wealth. Shortly before his death, Poe delivered a coded letter to each of the four sons, but their greed kept the family members from working together to find the treasure for 100 years. Now in 1950, Professor Kelly has found the missing Emerson Letter and gathered the family members who have the other three letters to try to find the treasure. However, someone has stolen the Emerson letter from the professor, and it is up to Nancy Drew to find the lost letter and recover the hidden Gold Bug Treasure. During intermission, audience members will have a chance to answer the following questions based on clues provided in the program insert: Who stole the professor's letter? and, How did you figure it out?. The best answers will be read at the end of the play. Cast: Nancy Drew .................. Madchen Hirsch Sheriff Bernie Beech ............. Eric Magnuson Professor William Kelly ............
