Murder, Plain and Simple 
Jun 29 @ 8:00 pm
Centre Stage

Eleanor is old, very old. Not to mention rich, very rich. When she plans to make revisions to her will, her devious nephew, Robert, has other deadlier and poisonous plans! After the deed is done (or so he thinks!), Robert tries to avoid suspicion as he plots his next move. Unfortunately for Robert, a conniving niece, a noble lawyer, an uncouth doctor, and a scheming gangster all threaten to rob him of his inheritance! Will he be able to outwit them and get away with murder AND the old ladies’ fortune? Full of witty banter, zany characters, and hilarious twists and complications, this murder mystery farce will keep you guessing and laughing at every turn!

The winner of our 21st Annual New Play Festival, this production is making South Carolina history! Join us for the world premiere of Murder, Plain and Simple by local playwright, Meghan Reimers.
