Stage 323 Presents - 13 Past Midnight

9/30/2015

Stage 323 presents murder, mystery & mayhem with their fall play - 13 Past Midnight. The cast of a TV Soap Opera is invited to their Producer's mansion to preview his new murder mystery game show "13 Past Midnight". When the producer announces that one of the cast will be cut from the show, the game becomes real and mayhem ensues. This fall's production will have you laughing and keep you guessing all night trying to figure out "who done it". Make sure to see the show this Thursday, October 1 or Friday, October 2 at 7:00 pm each night. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students/seniors. The ticket booth opens at 6:00 pm and open seating begins one half hour before curtain. Below are the cast & crew pictures - they look so innocent, don't they?!
