The Grade 11 drama class is putting on a dinner theatre. The show, “Murder Me Always”, is a play within a play where the Director ends up shot! It’s a whodunnit where the audience plays detective and can guess the killer while interrogating the cast. With a colourful cast of characters, full of twists and turns it's sure to be a must see! Will this “real” murder mystery be any better than the fake one? Is art imitating life? Come find out on Thursday, November 9th. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students/seniors. This includes dinner cooked by your very own Foods classes at ACS, AND a show! Tickets start to go on sale TODAY at the back of the caf. Cash only please!
