The Arcanum High School Drama department presents “The Groom Has Cold Feet” this weekend at the cafetorium. The play will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 3 p.m. The play has all kinds of fun characters that turns into a murder mystery, this show is a real hoot. When the reviled Albert Webster turns up murdered the morning of his wedding to local sweetheart Kayla May Blossom, there’s no shortage of suspects in the sleepy town of Pine Grove. Luckily, there’s also no shortage of town gossips, each with her own theory acted out in hilarious slow-mo fashion for the audience to see! Could it have been saloon girl Darleen, the last one to see Albert and the girl he dumped for Kayla May? Was it Virgil, the reluctant best man and ex-boyfriend of Kayla May? Maybe it was lonely Harley, who snuffed out Albert to steal his bride? How about Hazel, the about-to-be-evicted mother of the bride?
It’s going to take all of Sheriff Tickle’s investigative skills, along with his sidekick daughter Sarah and extra help from the audience, to solve this animated mystery. Tickets are $6 adults and children ages 3-17 $4 at the door or from any cast member.
