Who Will the Audience Accuse?

Dunnville Community Theatre Presents Murder’s in the Heir by Billy St. John 

It’s a will reading like no other. When the wealthy Simon Starkweather gathers his family and staff to announce the details of his estate, it sets off an evening of shocking twists, sharp-tongued humor, and a murder that could only happen in a house full of suspects.

This interactive whodunit by Billy St. John transforms the classic mystery into a live game of Clue. Every character has a motive, every moment is suspicious—and the audience gets to decide the ending. At intermission, spectators cast their votes for the killer, and the cast performs the finale that matches the audience’s verdict.

“Murder’s in the Heir is a perfect blend of comedy, suspense, and audience participation,” says Gordon Huffman, director of the production. “No two performances are exactly alike, which keeps the show fresh and fun every night.”

Performance Details:

Dates: November 21/22/28/29 at 7:00 p.m. and November 23/30 at 2:00 p.m.
Venue: St. Michael’s Parish Hall – 201 Alder Street West, Dunnville, Ontario
Tickets: Tickets are available online at DCT73.com or at the Art Service,152 Queen St., Dunnville, Ontario

A Snack Pack of Deliciously Funny Comics

POETRY | Techno Orphan Annie by Lorenzo Cromwell

Our Scribbles friend Lorenzo Cromwell wrote the following poem, which we are thrilled he gave us permission to use. Since Lorenzo said it best, here's his intro followed by his poem.

"I wonder how many of you have memorized important phone numbers?" asked Lorenzo. 

"What happens when you forget your phone, or it goes dead with no way to charge? We have become so dependent on our technology. Here is a poem I wrote about a situation that happened to me a month ago.

  

Techno Orphan Annie

I learned what it means to be orphaned in a modern way,

When all my gadgets silently failed me that day.

I went to the café and the visit was sweet,

My friend was gracious, jovial, and full of upbeat.

We spoke of rhyme, of reason, of stars and of sky,

Never once did we mention where written treasons lie.

The hours drifted onward, dusk slipped into night,

He spun topics like silk — each theme woven tight.

The company was golden, the laughter precise,

He said we could solve all the world’s woes — and twice.

At last we agreed it was time to depart,

A sudden dread echoed like thunder in my heart.

I reached for my keys — but no keys could be found,

I’d have to seek rescue when I got back downtown.

Yet worse — in that moment — the shock hit like ice,

My phone had died — and I paid the full price.

“No trouble at all,” said my friend then and there,

“I’ll drive you home swiftly — we’ll slice through the air.”

We arrived at my building and took our farewell,

We said we should gather again — and often as well.

But stepping out — I realized the second cruel twist,

No fob for the door — another thing missed!

So there on the street I was stranded, alone,

An orphan of gadgets with no key — and no phone.

He said “No fear — I will solve this right quick!”

He searched up my partner — clever, resourceful, slick.

There were many with that same name — several, in fact,

But we hunted and dialed — persistence intact.

Down came my partner to see what was amiss,

And my friend drove away with a wave — like this.

A lesson was learned in that neon-lit night,

We are bound to our devices far more than feels right.

We think we are free — bold, autonomous — unlinked,

Yet modern life ties us tighter than we think."

Scribbles MINI CLIP | Elton Sock's Blinged Eyewear

When I was blinging out Sir Elton Sock's eyewear, I wondered why I hadn't already done this.

 
Those shiny jewels came off in strips so it was easy to stick them on Elton Sock's glasses (which are actually a pair of kiddie sunglasses from Dollartree.)

 
I also fixed Elton's necklace, which had fallen apart during his debut performance in Mr. Sock's Halloween Party.

 
Here we are discussing his new bling.
