On Oct. 23, 1981, a cast of New Athens High School Students presented a two-act play “A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christi. The setting is the 1940’s in an English countryside Manor owned by Letitia Blacklock. She shares her home with a variety of people who all seem to have someting to hide. When an announcement of a murder, set to take place at the Manor, is found in the Gazette, suspense begins to mount. After the murder, female sleuth, Miss Marple, sets out to find the truth. Through a long investigation Inspector Craddock (Doug Laumbattus) and Sergeant Mallors (Marvin Korves) view various people with a suspicious eye. Could it be Dora Bunner (Clare Wesolik) the slightly zany companion? Or the brother and sister Patrick and Julia Simmons? (Doug Kosarek and Lori Meyer). What about Phillipa Haymes (Michelle Morovitz)? Was the deed done by the hysterical maid Mitzi (Tami Freudenberg)? Or the neighbors down the lane, Mrs. Swettenham and her son Edmund (Tina Wilderman and Brian Korves)? After reenacting the murder Letitia Blacklock was caught using a false identity. By using this identity she could have become a very wealthy lady by the inheritance of a will. Luckily she was caught by the Inspector before pursuing her next victim. 20
