Concordia Nebraska’s theatre department to perform “WhoDunit...and to Whom?”

Concordia Nebraska’s theatre department will perform “WhoDunit...and to Whom?” as their spring mainstage play on March 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. and March 30 at 2 p.m. All performances will take place in the Black Box Theatre in the Borland Center for Music and Theatre on campus.  

The play was originally written by professional writer and actor Robert Frankel, who has published over 30 works in his lifetime.  

“This comedic ‘play within a play’ features a carpet salesman and aspiring author, Harold, writing a detective play, but the ‘thought-characters’ who act out the play as he writes don’t like his story, and they attempt to improve the play by manipulating his writing as he types,” said Professor of Communication and Theatre Arts Bryan Moore, the play’s director.  

Tickets cost $10 for general admission and $5 for the Concordia Nebraska community.
