Vermillion Players Present: The Cat & The CanaryAs midnight looms on Halloween night 1932, the surviving descendants of the long-deceased Cyrus West have gathered in his remote British mansion to discover which of them is the chosen heir to his fortune. As a storm rattles the house, so does news that a truly monstrous inmate ( AKA “The Cat”) from a nearby asylum is on the loose. Join us April 16–18 at 7PM and April 19 at 2PM for an evening of thrills, twists, and theatrical fun. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime, giving you time to grab your seat and settle in before the mystery begins. Get your tickets HERE
