It’s opening night of the Cornley Drama Society’s production of The Murder at Haversham Manor, and despite the troupe’s best efforts, mishaps are causing mayhem on stage. From wayward props to malfunctioning scenery and unexpected understudies, the show must go on. But will the theater still be standing at the end of the performance? Fueled by energetic physical comedy and trick scenery, this award-winning sensation is perfect for the whole family.
