The Otterbein University Department of Theatre and Dance and Department of Music present the musical mystery “Curtains” at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 24-26 and Oct. 1-3, and 2 p.m. on Sept. 27, in the Fritsche Theatre at Cowan Hall, 30 S. Grove St., Westerville. Tickets cost $30. Call 614-823-1109 or visit www.otterbein.edu/drama.    

A delightful and suspenseful musical whodunnit, “Curtains” features a Golden Age-style score by the legendary songwriting duo John Kander and Fred Ebb, the creative minds behind “Cabaret” and “Chicago.” Set in the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959, Boston’s Colonial Theatre is playing host to the opening night performance of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage the entire cast and crew are suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan! 

The box office is open 12-4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and one hour prior to performances. It is located in Cowan Hall, 30 S. Grove St. Student Rush discounts are available one hour prior to curtain, pending ticket availability.
