Murder’s in the Heir

By Ms. Holli Brown

Simon Starkweather has been found murdered at Starkweather Mansion! Was it the maid with the fireplace poker? Could it have been the cook with a kitchen knife? On the other hand, perhaps it was the butler with the wrench. A slew of suspects with plausible motives can only mean one thing.

 The Hinton High School Drama Department needs your help in solving a murder! Having spent the last few months studying lines and rehearsing, the cast and crew of Murder’s in the Heir are nearing opening night.

The stage has been set for an evening of comedy, mayhem, and murder. So join us on November 3 and 4 at 7:00 PM in the HHS gym for an audience participation murder-mystery. You and only you can decide if the butler really did do it.
