Sinclair Hemmings (Sadie Clapp) was an overbearing play director who everybody wanted dead. Except that nobody wanted to do the deed and get thrown away into the slammer for life at the North Nodaway School play last weekend. Until someone opened the closet and discovered Hemmings dead.
Hemmings had dreams of grandeur and kept wanting to take liberties with playwright Jason Greene (Gannon Volner) production, which led the normally mild-mannered Greene to mumble threats against Hemings.
Like most theaters, even this one that had no competitors within 50 miles, this one was on life support financially, propped up by the generosity of Constance (Monica Castillo), who used her connections to get Carl (Pyper Smith) the custodian’s job. Except, is there more to it than meets the eye with Carl?
As more and more details slip out about Hemmings’ life, we see just how much hated he was. He was constantly pulling things on his people like forcing the whole cast to start from page 1 all over again after they were well into rehearsals.
As the stories came out, more and more people became suspects, and Dame MaGraff (Tequilla Miller), the local critic, had a theory that it was really the audience who killed Sinclair Hemings because his play just wasn’t good enough for people.
At one point, it even turned into a parallel universe with Charlie Brown (Lena Richards) making a guest appearance as well as certain other members of the Peanuts gang.
Also in the play were Casey Wray, Draven Rader, Trynzlee Ebrecht, Aryianna Jimenez, Savannah Rucker, Jackie Wray, Taccoa Moyer, and Laney Turner. Jaycie Edington and Journi Farnsworth handled the lights and sound.
