SB Civic's THE GAME'S AFOOT Begins Today

The first two weekends in June bring a hilarious murder mystery to South Bend Civic Theatre. Director Tucker Curtis leads his team of actors and designers to bring Ken Ludwig's The Game's Afoot to the stage from June 3rd through the 12th in what promises to be a laugh-riot of holiday hijinx! Scenic Designer Damen Mroczek transforms the Wilson Theatre into William Gillette's New England mansion.

It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette (Bill Svelmoe), admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous.

"From the intriguing opening mini play within a play to the surprise last scene a split second before final curtain, The Game's Afoot gives you everything you love about great live theatre. Billed as a comedy thriller you will find yourself swept along for a wild and funny ride."
