Greenville High School Theatre Club is currently in rehearsal for their fall production. This year they have an exciting murder mystery to share with the public, entitled: “This Isn’t A Murder Mystery, It’s A Massacre!” This highly comical play was written by one of their own actors, Kent Holmes, a junior at GHS who writes and produces his own films. Kent is also a GHS tennis player and soccer player, and a member of Men’s Choir and Key Club, to name a few of his many activities.
“This Isn’t A Murder Mystery” is a Monty Python meets Agatha Christie type of play. There are many characters, most of them likeable, and a plot with enough twists and turns to make Sherlock Holmes dizzy. Set in the 1940’s, during WWII, the plot brings us to the office of two private eyes: Sam Donsile and Jack Snips. Their clients are in for a lot more intrigue than they realized, once they set foot in the foyer. But with your help, the mystery will be solved! The club invites you to join them for this farcical romp, presented November 20th and 21st, at 7:00 pm in Celebration Theatre at GHS. Tickets will be available at the door for $5.00.
GHS Theatre Club boasts 40 members, every one of them a star. They rehearse, build, write, and perform four plays every year: the fall production, a contest piece for Area and State Conferences, the spring production which will take place at Memorial Hall once again this year, and the children’s performance offered to all area elementary students. Club advisers this year are: Cheryl Collins, Tory Martin, and Chris Phillips. Additional info on the troupe can be found on facebook.
