Murder at the Wieting!
.
The Kiwanis Players and the Wieting Theatre present the Mysterious, Gruesome, yet Morbidly Fascinating Murder at the Wieting on Sunday, September 24, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. Free will donation.
This original play revolves around the death of Prunella Proctologist, a universally disliked person that almost everyone wants to murder. Her life is cruelly dispatched by any number of suspects who are actors, playing actors, in this 1942 radio play. Is the murder the local mortician, a respected financier, or house cleaner and spy? Those are just a few of the characters who are prime suspects.
The Wieting Theatre is located at 101 South Church Street, Toledo, Iowa. Find out more at wieting.tamatoledo.com.
