Death and Taxes
April 7-10, 14-16, 2011
Ever wonder what goes on at a small-town city council meeting? In Hendricks, they’re looking for a murderer. The mayor announces that the meeting will be more like a coroner’s jury than the usual round of arguments. Not only has a man been murdered, but he was an IRS employee. Slowly it becomes apparent that the entire city council had seen the man, and everyone seems to be hiding something. Who murdered the stranger? Was it the sheriff, the newspaper editor, the town doctor, the nosy neighbor, the mayor, the high school drama teacher or a whole host of off-the-wall small-town characters? Maybe you can figure it out. And what about Naomi?

We seldom repeat a show that we’ve done before (except “Smoke” of course).
