WHEATLAND — Wheatland High School drama class will present "The Butler Did It," a comedy/murder mystery by Tim Kelly in conjunction with Concord Theatricals.

The play is a parody of familiar mysteries. Several detective writers are invited to Ravenswood Manor on Turkey Island. While they impersonate their fictional characters, they are surprised by a real murder. Now they must use all their resourcefulness to find the killer loose on Turkey Island.

Please join us for laughs at Wheatland High School Sunday, April 12. 

The matinee is a 2 p.m. Dinner theater seating begins at 5 p.m., with curtain up at 6 p.m.

 Once again, we will feature a delicious meal created by Christy Rathgeber. This year's menu: brisket, cheesy potatoes, vegetable and dinner roll. FACS class will provide a delicious dessert.

Matinee tickets are $12 and can be purchased at the door or in advance.

Dinner theater tickets are $20 and must be purchased by Monday, March 30, for an accurate meal count.

Actors will have tickets for purchase. They may also be purchased by emailing Carolyn Nelson at cnelson@thunderhawks.org or Jim Shaw at jshaw@thunderhawks.org.
