You decide the murderer
DCHS Journalism

"Break a leg.” It's a phrase actors/actresses the world around know. It's apparently for good luck, despite the fact that broken legs are generally bad. So, I say break a leg to all those who tried out for the all-school play.
The play this year is "Murder's in the Heir." It is a murder mystery about an old man who is murdered for his fortune. The play will be audience interactive. That's right. The audience will be given ballots to determine who they think the murderer is. The actors will then have to improvise the rest of the play.
The play will be performed April 9 and 10. This is a change from the school calendar, so go to your calendars right now and mark the changes.
Cast members include Daniel Jordan as Simon Starkweather and Simon Startkweather III, Elizabeth Nedland as Fiona Starkweather, Nolan Henningson as Jordan Starkweather, and Ashley Horton as Paula Thompson.
Matthew Helm will play Benson Hurst; Miki Dorshorst, Mrs. Trent; Jacob Helm, Horase Walker; Amanda Marshall, Nancy Pollard; Gatlin Reichert, Rufus Jones; Jaxen Alstrom, Lewis Van Zandt; Kiah Blau, Miss Withers; Nakita Bose, Kathy Collins; Matt Glading, Gene; and Joe Hirsch as Mike Davis.
The play is directed by Leigh Davis.
