USHS Theater

11/13/2016

Tickets are still available for the final performance today for the USHS Fall Play, Writing A Will Can Be Murder!

It's that time of year again! This weekend The USHS Theater Department will be performing their Fall Play "Writing A Will Can Be Murder"! In the play, aging movie star Betty Crawford once led a glamourous life on the red carpet, surrounded by reporters, movie producers, and directors vying for her attention. Everyone wanted to rub elbows with her. But these days, she lives alone with her maid, and the rest is only a memory... and a series of hysterical tongue-in-cheek flashbacks. Wouldn’t you know, when Betty revises her will, suddenly everyone in her life, both past and present, just happens to show up for a “social call.” Betty ends up murdered in her living room, and every visitor just happens to be holding a different type of potential murder weapon. When a library cop shows up to present a citation for a book that’s years overdue, he decides he’s practically like law enforcement, so he puts the clues together to help solve the mystery of the murdered movie star. With fast paced dialogue and three sets of twins (each pair cleverly written to be played by the same actor), this murder mystery farce is full of fun and intrigue! Performances are Friday and Saturday (Nov 11 and 12) at 7:00 PM, and Sunday (Nov 13) at 2:30 PM. Tickets can be purchased at the school ahead of time, or the night of the show.
