A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom may be a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, a spinster with a curious background, an architect better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major who claims his car overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman traveling on skis! To solve the mystery, he probes the background of everyone present and rattles a lot of skeletons.

BCT_Dog Sees GodDOG SEES GOD: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead
Presented by Beavercreek Community Theatre
Oct. 25-Nov. 3
Beavercreek

Directed by Matt Curry

When CB’s dog dies from rabies, CB begins to question the existence of an afterlife. His best friend is too burnt out to provide any coherent speculation; his sister has gone goth; his ex-girlfriend has recently been institutionalized; and his other friends are too inebriated to give him any kind of solace. But a chance meeting with the artistic kid, the object of this group’s bullying, offers CB a peace of mind and sets in motion a friendship that will push teen angst to the very limits. Drug use, suicide, eating disorders, teen violence, rebellion and sexual identity collide and careen toward an ending that is both haunting and hopeful.

It is for sale, but there are no takers for the only eatery in the depressed town, so newcomer Percy suggest to Hannah that she raffle it off. Entry fees are set at one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill will win.
