Tickets are $5 and can be purchased in the school’s main office. Group tickets are available. For information, call 630-301-5600.

The play, with its silliness and jokes, is appropriate for all ages. The main character, Sam Slade, is a famous but inept detective who needs the help of the audience to solve a murder mystery.

Sam discovers a murdered Colonel Horace Clamskey at the Clam Cove Inn. Among the interesting characters are Slade’s girlfriend, the Colonel’s adoring secretary, his spoiled niece and her cowboy suitor, his spinster schoolteacher sister and irritating cousin. Slade discovers motives among the guests as a vicious hurricane bears down on the island. The web of suspense continues as the criminal strikes repeatedly. Slade untangles the twisted plot thanks to the help from the audience.
