A group of the usual British murder-mystery types gather for a weekend retreat at the sumptuous country estate of the esteemed Lady Somerset. Suddenly, someone dies of poison! Well, of course. Oh, what fun! But wait … Her Ladyship refuses to summon the police! She says she won't go through all this again. Is this actually just another formulaic, all-too-predictable mystery story? Or is it something diabolically … different? A Christie parody with a twist.

Our friend Jim "Jim D" Daugherty, longtime box office manager (and more) for Studio Players, passed away in October of 2020. Studio’s Board of Directors recently voted to plant a tree in Jim’s memory next to the Carriage House, and it now grows outside the windows – where it can always keep an eye on us.

 

Jim D was the friendly face of Studio for so many people, greeting patrons as they picked up tickets on the way in to the shows. A beloved, devoted, and long-time member of the Studio Players family, Jim’s imprint runs deep and his welcoming presence will remain part of the Carriage House. We are grateful for the chance to know and work with him, and we're glad to always have this reminder of him just outside. The show must go on, and he will always be with us as it does, never forgotten.

Strike your harps you happy gang,

who now stand at Heaven's door,

cymbals and drums loudly bang,

dancing on that golden floor.
