Fort Zumwalt North Panther Players to present "Curtains"!

The Fort Zumwalt North "Panther Players" are set to perform their annual spring musical. This year's musical is the musical mystery comedy - Curtains.

Curtains, based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, is a send-up of backstage murder mystery plots set in 1959 Boston, Massachusetts.

Jessica Cranshaw (Madison Crosswhite), the supremely untalented star of Robbin' Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. The show's producer Carmen Bernstein (Isabelle Blevins) and her financial backer, Oscar (Alex Pohlman), try to keep the show up and running amid a less than enthusiastic company of performers. Aaron Fox (Joshua Nigus) and Georgia Hendricks (Mia Millican), the formerly married composer and lyricist team, are trying to desperately to fix the production, but are split apart yet again by the director, Christopher Belling (Brett Jones), who decides the only way to save the show is to put Georgia in the lead role. Even with the change, the rest of the cast are eager to give up on Robbin' Hood.

It is up to Lt. Frank Cioffi (Charles Roberts), a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan to save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love with the pretty ingenue Niki Harris (Tessa Knopf) before the show reopens, without getting killed himself.

The show will run April 12 - 14 @ 7:00 pm in the FZN Auditorium. Tickets are $7.00 in advance or $9.00 at the door. Tickets can be purchased at Fort Zumwalt North High School during the week of April 9th.
