Fountain Square Players present: Murder at the Vicarage
Based on the novel by Agatha Christie, the Fountain Square Players' latest performance presents a murder mystery with a twist. In "Murder at the Vicarage," Detective Inspector Slack is faced with two false confessions and numerous suspects after a despised civil magistrate is found shot in the local vicarage and reluctantly accepts help from Miss Marple.
Showtimes at the Phoenix Theatre are Thursday through Saturday nights at 8pm, with a Sunday show at 3pm. Ticket information and further information can be found by calling 270-782-3119 or visiting the website below.
