Highwood Theatre to Present THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD

The Students' Theatre, a division of The Highwood Theatre, presents the Tony Award-winning musical, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, written by Rupert Holmes and directed by Kevin Kearney. Kearney's talented cast of students, ranging from grades 4-12, will delight audiences in this comedic reworking of Charles Dickens' unfinished murder mystery.

A raucous, immersive, and mysterious musical comedy set in London's Music Hall Royale. Who killed Edwin Drood? YOU decide! The Mystery of Edwin Drood is the only Broadway musical around where the ending differs every performance. Don't miss YOUR chance to finish the story that Dickens didn't!

The Highwood Theatre is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the community together through theatre. Now in its 12th Season, Highwood's guiding principle is "anyone can do theatre." Highwood was founded in 2004 and began executing its mission through seasons of professional-quality theatre featuring all-student casts, design teams, and production staff. In 2013, in conjunction with its relocation to the heart of downtown Silver Spring, The Highwood Theatre expanded to more fully carry out its mission and develop innovative, engaging programming for artists of all ages through professional and student productions, classes, and programs in schools and for home schooled students.

The Highwood Theatre is creating a theatre hub in downtown Silver Spring made up of artists of all ages, regardless of past experience or training. Through productions and programs that combine both professional theatre artists and students - along with opportunities for development and training in all aspects of theatre - we hope to bring the community together and foster an environment where everyone feels comfortable, supported, and inspired to collaborate, share, appreciate, and create.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood is part of Highwood's 2014-2015 Mainstage Season and is the season's first production by its Students' Theatre division, which is dedicated to producing high-quality theatre productions with casts of talented student actors.
