Next month, Barrington High School’s Stagemasters are performing the highly under-appreciated musical Curtains, directed by our very own Mrs. Meaghan Corr.
Curtains follows the in-show failing musical Robbin’ Hood when on opening night, the lead actress is murdered!
Every cast member is a suspect, and Lieutenant Frank Coffi— who happens to be a ginormous fan of musical theater— is on the case. As the layers of the mystery murder unravel, cast members are slowly being picked off one-by-one, and Lieutenant Coffi is running out of time to crack the case.
