Auburn Area Community Theatre (AACT) is thrilled to be staging a show again at the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center after its recent renovation. “The Game’s Afoot,” winner of the 2012 Edgar® Award for Best Play from The Mystery Writers of America, will run over the course of 2 weekends, beginning on May 10th.

This play tells the story of Broadway star William Gillette, who has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. When one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It’s up to Gillette himself, who just happens to think he’s Sherlock Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and laughter are non-stop in this glittering whodunit.

Performances times are May 10th, 11th, 16th, 17th, and 18th at 7:00 p.m. with matinees on Sundays May 12th & 19th at 2:00 p.m. All shows will be at the Jan Dempsey Community Arts Center located at 222 E Drake Ave., Auburn, AL, 36830.
