Elm Street Cultural Arts Village will soon open its musical comedy whodunit, “Curtains,” in Woodstock.

The show will run 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays Aug. 14-30 at the Chambers at City Center.

Directed by Kevin Anderton, this rousing musical is a play within a play and combines mystery, comedy and romance.

The show will kickoff Elm Street’s 15-16 Main Stage Season, which the organization said is sure to gather a lot of attention as the year goes on.

“We’ve gained a lot of momentum,” said Siobhan Brumbelow, education manager at Elm Street. “After the success of “Millie,” the summer shows, and the Reeves House raising excitement, we couldn’t be more delighted than to start the 15-16 season with a whodunit like this.”

Elm Street will also offer a dinner package for the show, which includes a meal, pre-show entertainment and the show itself.

The package will only be available for the Saturday evening performances: Aug. 15, 22 and 29. Due to limited seating for the dinner, this option will be available for only 30 people each evening.

“Together with our restaurant partners, we are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity,” Elm Street Operations Director Christopher Brazelton added. “We think this will be great way for our community to connect around the arts, particularly for this show, it engages our audience in a very different and intentional way.”

The pre-show dinner will be held in the Chambers, and each Saturday’s meal will be provided by one of Elm Street’s community restaurant partners.

Dinner is not the only thing that Elm Street is trying out with this show, as the show will also feature a 12-piece live orchestra to accompany the experience.

Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door. The dinner package is $40; dinner will start at 6 p.m. on the aforementioned Saturdays.

The Chambers at City Center are located at 8534 Main Street. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit elmstreetarts.org or call 678-494-4251.
