General Admission

Great storm effects, spiffy costumes, and lots of fun and mystery distinguish this work by the author of Abduction, The Reunion, and others. Ever want to commit a murder? Walter, the playwright&rsquo;s alter ego in this madcap mystery, demonstrates just how to do someone in, in your imagination, of course! After introducing the audience to tyrannical millionaire Edward Worthington&rsquo;s relatives, business associates, and household staff &ndash; most of whole have reason to wish the man dead &ndash; Walter exits, only to reappear in a tuxedo as Worthington. Gathered on a stormy evening at Worthington Manor to celebrate Edward&rsquo;s fiftieth birthday are his attractive wife, her playboy brother, Edward&rsquo;s befuddled older sister, his ex-wife, and his daughter, a college student.Also present are his shady lawyer and his uptight business manager with his giddy wife and sexy southern secretary, as well as the butler, the housekeeper, the maid, and the cook. Each has a motive that is barely established when the lights go out! Seconds later, they come back on to reveal the knife for the birthday cake protruding from Edward&rsquo;s back. In Act II, the police detective &ndash; also played by Walter &ndash; investigates, eventually allowing the audience to question or accuse suspects before the killer&rsquo;s identity is revealed in a surprising climax.

Our organization is entirely volunteer-run. No one receives a paycheck. Every dollar spent with us goes directly toward sets, lighting, sound, venue fees, costumes, and performance royalties. Our mission is to make it easy for community members of all ages to get involved in theatre. We provide opportunities for acting training, live performances, directing and assistant directing, and developing skills in lighting, sound, and costume design. Along the way, we help build leadership, collaboration, confidence, and lifelong friendships that bring our community together. We also have a bigger vision for the future. We are working toward opening a permanent theatre venue here in Rexburg. Having a dedicated space would allow us to offer more productions, educational programs, and opportunities for people throughout our community to participate in and experience live theatre. If you have any questions about your ticket purchase, this production, or opportunities to get involved with Rexburg Community Theatre, please reply directly to this email. Thank you again for your support. We look forward to seeing you at the show! Robert HibbardChairman of the BoardRexburg Community Theatre
