HIGH POINT, N.C., Nov. 17, 2016 – Tonight is opening night for High Point University’s latest theater production, “Curtains,” a murder mystery musical with a book by Rupert Holmes.
Performances will be held through the weekend at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 17-19 and at 2 p.m. on Nov. 20 in the Pauline Theatre of Hayworth Fine Arts Center.
A limited number of complimentary tickets are available for the general public by contacting the HPU Campus Concierge at 336-841-4636 or [email protected].
“Curtains” is one of HPU’s biggest productions of the academic year.
Set in 1959 Boston, the plot follows the fallout when the untalented star of “Robbin’ Hood of the Old West” is murdered during her opening night curtain call. It is up to Lt. Frank Cioffi, a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan, to save the show, solve the case and maybe even find love before the show reopens without getting killed himself.
