Cynthia (Cindy) Schaker, first year member of D5, wrote a play titled Murder By the Books. This comedic murder mystery is the entertainment portion of a dinner theater production.
In the fall, Cardinal Creek Farms in rural Butler County, a wedding/family event venue, stages an all-local talent performance. For the second year, Cindy wrote and directed her original play. This year she set the play in a library and based it loosely on members of our writing critique group which meets monthly at Reliant Bookstore in El Dorado. When the person playing Marla had to drop out, Sandee Taylor (D5) was asked to play herself as the leader of The Mystery Writers Group. She has enjoyed transforming her rather serious personality into a comedic character. She instructs the group saying, “It is only a mystery until it is solved.” During the intermission, diners cast ballots for whom they believe committed the murder.
The production November 6 of Murder By the Books will be an evening of good food, laughter, and fun with friends.
