A wealthy socialite’s honeymoon sail up the Nile takes a nasty turn toward murder in this classic from the pen of Agatha Christie. Invited guests and unwelcome stragglers make for a plethora of plots, sub-plots and suspects as the Nile riverboat steams its way toward ancient temples and contemporary tragedy. Will kindly Cannon Pennefather be able to unmask the killer before the boat docks? Join us for an evening of mystery.
And don’t forget our annual November Food Drive– a bag of non-perishable foods will get you a free treat at Intermission. And this year, in honor of all the Sylvias of the world, we will be collecting pet food as well. Hungry People have Hungry Pets.

“Years ago my mother used to say to me, she’d say, ‘Elwood’ – she always called me Elwood – ‘In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.’ Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me.” In 1942, Mary Chase wove that speech into one of the most charming and whimsical plays ever to grace the stage. Her goal was to make a grieving friend smile. Our goal is to do the same for you. In fact, you’re likely to laugh out loud! Join us and visit (or re-visit) Elwood and his BFF, Harvey, the 6-foot, invisible rabbit; it’s just the ticket. Get yours today!
