Get your tickets today!
Here's the story...Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous. This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines). Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences! Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award–winning comedy is
a global phenomenon that’s guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter! | Benefit Dinner at Leetonia High School Sunday Guy Costello, a middle school/high school history teacher at Leetonia for more than 30 years,
