How to Get Away With A Murder Mystery
by Don Zolidis
​
Free performance dates: June 27 and 7pm & June 28 at 2pm

Participants will learn a play and perform it in 2 weeks. Our focus is students entering 6th to 12th grade, but other ages may be considered on a case-by-case basis. The program is open to any student of any district or homeschooled, not just Dowagiac students. We plan to allow every student who auditions to be included in the show. If we have more participants than performing roles, some roles will be shared. Backstage and production assignments are available for those who are not interested in performing. This program is designed to be a low-stress introduction to theatre. Beginners are encouraged to join.

There will be opportunities for actors, stage crew, lights/sound, costumes, etc. Please spread the word. We hope to see you there!

Thanks to our partnership with Educational Talent Search, participation in this program is absolutely free.
