COD College Theater Presents ‘Ocean 9-1-1’

College of DuPage College Theater presents “Ocean 9-1-1” on the College’s Glen Ellyn campus, 425 Fawell Blvd., and at area locations this summer.

An original screenplay developed by COD Theater students, in “Ocean 9-1-1,” something is wreaking havoc in the little seaside town of Oceanside. The Beach Bum Investigative Team is planning a trip to the shoreline in town when a phone call to the team’s clubhouse arrives with a desperate cry for help. Then, the phone goes dead. How will the hometown heroes solve the mystery when they can’t go near the water? In this family friendly play, everyone becomes a detective.
