A murder mystery with audience participation. by Ayn Rand
Tickets - $8.00 Adults , $ 5.00 Senior and Students
PLOT Bjorn Faulkner has swindled millions of dollars from investors, by investing cash he did not have in order to control the gold trade. In the wake of a crash, he is facing bankruptcy despite the injection of money by Mr. John Graham Whitfield, a prominent banker whose daughter, Nancy Lee, married Faulkner shortly after the loan.
           On the night of January 16th, Karen Andre and Bjorn are in the penthouse at the top of the Faulkner Building in New York when Faulkner falls to his death. The purpose of the play is to decide if it may have been a suicide - or murders.
           Karen Andre is placed on trial on charges of having murdered Faulkner. She is being prosecuted by Mr. Flint and defended by Mr. Stevens.
           Within the three acts of the play, the two lawyers call upon a number of witnesses, including doctors, security of the Faulkner building, private investigators, the coroner, and a notorious gangster, where each of their testimonies build to contradictory tories.
          Cast is combination of men and women - who present to jury; picked from the audience.

Saturday, April 28th      The Spinney Brothers
          This group is coming all the way from the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, The Spinney Brothers are comprised of Allan Spinney, Rick Spinney, Gary Dalrymple and Terry Mumford. Brothers Allan and Rick Spinney debuted their band in 1992, showcasing a tight brother duet vocal style that was immediately recognized for its energetic and distinctive sound.
          A real plus for the Town Hall Opry to have this award group stop on their travels. Their duet singing has won many awards and the band goes to the very core of traditional bluegrass roots. Be sure to be at the Town Hall Theatre on this night.

          Our Annual Fine Arts Show will be starting Saturday May 5 through the following Saturday May 12 during the hours of 1:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. with a 3:00 p.m. closing reception on May 12.
