There has been a murder! Who did it, the karaoke loving butler? The sleazy lawyer? Perhaps the elusive groundskeeper, the snoopy professor, the stressed-out mother or the rival billionaire?
Come along with Detective Casey Neptune as she unravels each suspect’s whereabouts the day of the murder and see if you can solve this amusing madcap mystery before the end of the play.
Students from USD 346 will come together to present their spring play, The Alibis, on Friday, April 24, at 6 p.m. and again on Sunday, April 26, for a matinee performance at 2 p.m.
Lily Meyer, who plays Detective Neptune says that she believes attendees will love this year’s choice for their spring production.
“It’s a great play, lots of fun,” noted Meyer.
She added that her favorite scene is one in which her real-life sister, Abbi Meyer, plays a child in a Star Wars dress up costume, adding she loves her character and believes it suits her own inquisitive nature.
Camden Wood who plays that karaoke loving butler, Warwick, his character is quite unique, and agrees with Meyer on the favorite scene choice.
“It’s going to be a fun performance,” he noted.
Aiden Stark, who plays, Clyde Bartlett, embodies his character because Bartlett is funny, but in a somewhat stupid way.
His favorite scene is one of his own in which his character is fighting a child over a piece of candy.
All in all, the trio agrees that it’s going to be a performance that can’t be missed.
