Murder at Ackerton Manor
- AUG 25 – SEPT 13
There’s trouble at Ackerton Manor. On a stormy night, the loathsome Roger Ackerton meets an untimely end, leaving behind a body, a missing diamond, and a house full of suspects with more secrets than sense. Enter the ever-dramatic Detective Pierre Pierrot, who must untangle the lies before the killer strikes again. Murder at Ackerton Manor is a fun-loving spoof of Agatha Christie murder mysteries, where plot twists and mistaken identities make for a raucous night in the English Countryside.
