Hillsboro High School Theater presents “Deadline,” a murder mystery comedy by Don Zolidis, on Nov. 8-10.
When eight mystery writers arrive at a legendary writer’s fog-shrouded island mansion in the North Atlantic, they think they’re ready for the Deadline Challenge. With 24 restful hours to write as much of their new novel as possible and the chance to win $1 million, the Deadline Challenge is anything but restful.
In reality, the writers are brought together to solve a murder — the victim has yet to be determined, and the killer yet to strike. Can you solve the mystery before the “Deadline?”
Performances will be Nov. 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. and on Nov. 10 at 3 p.m. at the Hillsboro High School Auditorium. The doors open approximately 30 minutes prior to showtime. Tickets can be purchased at the door or prior to the show at http://our.show/deadline.
