Jeanne,
The play is a murder mystery comedy with some off-the-wall characters who
definately do not get along. It generates many laughs as the characters
intereact at a wedding. A murder does take place at the wedding and the
audience tries to figure out who did it. The theater is a non-profit
organization that is raising money to put on future theatrical
productions. The only people that will benefit from the money raised at
the event will be the community having a theatrical program where they can
become involved in or view one of the productions. The theater in no way
had any intentions of promoting violence through doing this production.
It is a very funny play that will make people laugh and maybe take their
minds off of their problems for a few hours. I honor and accept your
opinion, as we all have one and we are all entitled to speak our mind. If
you choose not to support our program, that is your choice, and I hope you
will support future productions. Thank you for you comments and take care,
Sincerely,
Paul Wright
Board President
