A Murder is Announced
By Leslie Darbon, adapted from Agatha Christie’s Novel
Directed by Susan McIntyre
September 18 - October 11, 2026
An announcement in the local paper states the time and place when a murder is to occur in Miss Blacklock’s Victorian house. The victim is not one of the house’s several occupants, but an unexpected and unknown visitor. What follows is a classic Christie puzzle of mixed motives, concealed identities, a second death and a determined inspector grimly following the case’s twists and turns. Fortunately, Miss Marple is on hand to provide the solution – at some risk to herself – in a dramatic final confrontation.

A Christmas Carol is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens’ most well-known story.
