Director: Annette Alliano
Producer: Dorothy Courtney
An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house. The victim is an unexpected visitor, not one of the several occupants. What follows is a classic puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death, a determined inspector grimly following the twists and turns of the mystery, and Miss Marple on hand to provide the final solution — at some risk to herself — in a dramatic confrontation just before the final curtain.

Another Antigone by A.R. Gurney
(A wry, witty drama)
Director: Steve Murdock
Producer: Mickey Zeichick
After years of teaching the classics at a New England university, Henry Harper is not surprised by much — and particularly not by a precocious student who wants to rewrite his beloved Greek masterpiece to reflect current sociopolitical concerns. So when a gifted young student announces that she intends to submit an updated, anti-nuclear version of Antigone in place of the formal paper he has assigned, Henry is adamant in his refusal to accept it. The conflict grows when the school grievance committee becomes involved and it becomes evident to Henry that not only his academic integrity but his very livelihood is at stake.
