The MS/HS Drama Club is performing the fall play, Murder Box, next Friday, November 5, 2021, at 1 pm and 7 pm at the Milo Peterson Gymnasium.
The MS/HS Drama Club is performing Reid Conrad's dark comedy play, Murder Box, and will be sure to leave the audience on the edge of their seats!
Published by Eldridge Plays and Musicals, the play is a dark mixture of mystery, ghost, death, and humor. At the end of the 1940s, an old theatre building is about to be torn down. As the theatre’s acting troupe is packing up the props, costumes, and set pieces, an old magician’s trunk is wheeled onstage. Suddenly, members of the company are turning up dead. Margaret, the director’s assistant, is the only witness to these crimes, and no one will believe her! Can she solve the mystery, or at least convince her fellow cast and crew about the sinister happenings, before the entire company is doomed? And when ghosts from the past mysteriously return, will former victims turn into new killers themselves? This thriller has plenty of twists, turns, and terror, and you never know who will end up in the “Murder Box.”
Make sure to mark your calendar for next Friday at 7 p.m. It will be at the Altoona-Midway High School gym.
