SHS students have been working hard on a hilarious new murder mystery comedy directed by teachers Janice Keene and Tyler Elliott.

Please come and join us for this hilarious and heartwarming show! 

In Murder by the Book, the town of Two Spruce is about to lose their beloved library! A team of volunteer actors come to its rescue by staging a murder mystery. But on opening night a real murder most foul threatens to thwart their fundraiser. Lucy the Librarian and a team of quirky volunteer actors scramble to solve the crime before the curtain rises and the library is lost forever! The script comes compliments of mystery writer Louise Penny & playwright Laura Teasdale who created the play to help raise money for libraries everywhere (SHS will be raising money for our school library!).

Performances are December 3-5 from 7:00 - 8:30pm in the Drama Room. Tickets are $10.00 on School Day. The show is suitable for ages 12 and up. We hope to see you there!
