Step into the world of Agatha Christie and help bring one of her most beloved Miss Marple mysteries to life! In the quiet village of Chipping Cleghorn, an announcement in the local paper causes a stir: there will be a murder at Miss Blacklock’s house that evening. When the lights go out and a shot rings out, the villagers and guests find themselves at the center of a classic Christie whodunit. With concealed identities, mixed motives, and plenty of twists, it’s up to Miss Marple and Inspector Craddock to unravel the mystery before another victim falls.
Director Jeremy Grant—a founding member of the Bluegrass Players and Director of Theatre at Madison Southern High School—is thrilled to bring Agatha Christie back to The Spotlight Playhouse stage!
