On Sunday, May 8 at 4:00 p.m., the Garretson Middle/High School will be holding a performance of the one act play, Murder on the 518.
Twenty-three students have been involved in the production, which is led by co-directors Ericka Brown and Kim Macziewski. The actors have been hard at work since March, gathering before school for the two-hour practices, learning lines, blocking, and costuming. Many of the students who performed in this winter's one-act play competition piece are returning, including 2022 acting award winners and seniors Oliviyah Thornton and Morgan Moritz. The comedic play also introduces several newcomers, including Calvin Larson, Chloe Hermanson, and Whisper Apple.
Red-eye travelers on the westbound 518 are in for a surprise when first one passenger, and then another, mysteriously drop dead right before their eyes — and just as the train is halted by a rock slide in an isolated canyon. Because the pair appears to have been poisoned, anyone and everyone in the train dining car is a suspect!
Unable to call for help, the eccentric passengers — including two newlyweds, an astronomy professor, a sports recruiter, a CEO, a movie star, an aspiring musician, and others — try to work together with the waitstaff to find the murderer before they reach their destination and the killer escapes for good! Unfortunately, not everything (or everyone) is as it seems.
Join the cast as they find out who the villain is on Sunday, May 8 at 4:00 p.m. at the Garretson School Old Gym.
