It's Time Again for the Murder Mystery Production at Rockville High School

The original murder mystery productions presented by members of the Rockville High School Drama and Creative Writers clubs have become a lively tradition.

This year's version - "It’s a Not So Wonderful Day in the Neighborhood" is scheduled to be performed on Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. in the RHS auditorium.

The question presented will be, "Which beloved cartoon character has murdered Innocence?"

The Detective, Nicholas Bartos, is leading the investigation of the following suspects:

• Vicky the Babysitter – played by Courtney West.
• Angelica Pickles – played by Christiane Lee.
• Bob the Builder – played by Ryan Fujimoto.
• Oscar the Grouch – played by Marissa Fujimoto
• Kim Possible – played by Chelsea Poloski.
• SpongeBob SquarePants – played by Andrew Uzdejczyk.
• Blossom, Buttercup, & Bubbles (The Power Puff Girls) – played by Erin Gonyeau, Deanna Pelligrino and Julia Bonadies.
• Jimmy Neutron – played by Nicholas Thierfeldt.
• Dora – played by Megan Chabre.
• Elmo – played by Tim Lyons.

The writers are Allison Hawley, Lisa Mueller, Lauren Silver and Courtney West. Victoria Nordlund and Gabbi Mendelsohn are co-directors.

The annual murder mystery has always taken an interactive approach. Audience members have an opportunity during the intermission to cast a vote for the identity of the murderer, and if they're right, they have a chance to win a prize.

Tickets for the show are $7 and will be sold at the door. Extra raffle tickets are $1 per ticket.

Free refreshments will be served during intermission.
