All of us have had enough about politics, however when local politics is in play things can become a bit testy. Combine that with a birthday party, well . . . death tends to put a damper on things. Two deaths, well . . .
The Towle Theater Youth Ensemble (TYTE) did an excellent job maintaining the pace for this play, and keeping our minds on many things; the surprise birthday part, the election, individual character quirks, and clues that intermingle themselves throughout the story. As always with a well written story and strong played character roles, you will want to take a guess at "who did it" and you will go "oops" when you are wrong. Even with that information, you will still be wrong.
A good play is only as good as the cast, and the director. You can see both took their parts seriously, resulting in a excellent Mandate For Murder!
Let me introduce you to the cast first, starting with their character name in the play.
