The play, "The Nifty Fifties Malt Shop
Murder," will be performed by Kensington
students the Veterans' Day weekend. It will be
given on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, Nov.
10 & 11, at 3 p.m. in the school gym.
Directors are Emily Blank and Lisa Bauman.
Tickets will be available at the door.
The murder mystery takes place in the 50's at
Moira's Malt Shoppe in a small town where
nothing ever happens, but the hometown ladies
get their shot at being detectives when a
stranger in town shows up dead. Plan now to
enjoy an afternoon of the students' talents in
an exciting mystery play.
