Mehlville High School and Oakville High School are wrapping up their fall plays this week with final performances Thursday and Friday.

Mehlville HS

Mehlville students are performing The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940, where a group of theater hopefuls are invited to the Von Grossenknueten estate to audition for a new Broadway show, but only after the group has been snowed in do they realize—They were all in the show where the Broadway Slasher killed members of the company! Will the Broadway Slasher continue the killing spree?  

The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940 will be performed at 7:00 pm on November 15, and 16th in the Mehlville Drama Center.  Tickets are $5 in advance, $7 at the door, or $10 reserved.

Jill Jones, whose niece is the stage manager for the play, said the show is outstanding.

"I loved it!" she commented on Patch. "It was a mystery and comedy. Best money I spent in a long time for great entertainment....:)"
