ESCANABA — Holy Name High School — A Chesterton Academy students will be performing the play, “This Murder Was Staged,” written by Patrick Greene and Jason Pizzarello, and directed by Julie Rexford. Performances of this fast-paced, family-friendly comedy/mystery will be on Friday, Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 11 at 2 p.m. in the Holy Name Multi-purpose room. Holy Name is located at 409 So. 22nd Street, Escanaba.

In the performance, it’s opening night of a brand-new mystery play, but just as the killer is about to be revealed, the body of the play’s director falls on stage instead. In that moment, the theater becomes an active crime scene, and everyone, from cast to crew to even the audience, becomes a suspect. But how is the intrepid detective supposed to find the killer when everyone and their mother (literally) has a motive to want the demanding director gone?
