The Range Grill & Tap had another murder mystery in February, Tumbleweed Turmoil at the Tombstone Tavern. That event sold out 10 days prior the performance. The earlier show was also written by Zeitler and directed by Sullivan. Some of the same cast members return for this new play along with several talented new members.

The cast includes Aaron Berogan, Nancy Braus, Heidi Buyck, Debbi Dennison, Vicky Giannini, Shazad Mehta, Frank Warpeha, Bruce Worthel, and Carl Zeitler.

Some proceeds from the production will go to help fund Shakespeare on Clark’s summer production of Much Ado about Nothing.
