The Ten Tombs of Dr. styles at Theatre 40

Staged reading of a play. Written by Frank Semerano. Directed by Christopher Franciosa. 

What Secrets Lie Within the Ten Tombs?  Horton Sumner Malden is an Egyptologist tasked with unraveling the mysterious discoveries of his late colleague and former instructor, Dr. Winston Styles, who died under bizarre circumstances in Egypt while searching for the treasure of the Ten Tombs. Complicating Horton’s endeavors to solve a riddle are four strangers: a corrupt politician, a humorless nurse, an inept housekeeper, and a fading seer anxious to recapture past glories. They all had ties to the late doctor and show up at his residence atop an isolated mountain and offer clues as they continue to prod Horton on his quest.  When the strangers suffer equally curious deaths, Horton slowly changes his attitude about curses, and attempts to keep Penny, his betrothed, safe from succumbing to a similar fate.  Only after Horton solves the riddle of the Ten Tombs, will he discover the ultimate betrayal based on sheer envy and find his only ally lies in the supernatural. 

The cast includes Isabella DiBernardino, Matt Landig, Christine Joelle, Grinell Morris, Nakasha Norwood, Lilli Passero, David Hunt Stafford, and Kristin Towers-Rowles.
