This is truly an ensemble show. There's not a lead who has to carry the story, so it's a chance to really showcase all of our actors and actresses.

This is a good starter show for some of these kids who've never been onstage before, and we have several who are first-timers, but they're having fun with the roles and characters. It's not Shakespeare, but that's OK with us.

What you're seeing before your eyes is what's happening in his head.

Basically, it's a play being written right before your eyes -- sort of. The premise is that a retiring police officer has decided he's going to go off into a life of ease, and how he's going to do that is by writing a murder mystery like Agatha Christie.

(It was a) good chance for everyone to play.

The script came along and it was funny and it gave me the chance to play an outrageous character and I've never done anything before quite like her,
