Alexandria, VA – The Cappie award-winning theater program at Bishop Ireton High School is back for its annual spring show – Curtains!

About the show:

It’s the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959. Boston’s Colonial Theatre is 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 theater fan!  This tribute to the classics is a first-class musical murder mystery from Kander and Ebb (“Cabaret,” “Chicago”) – a sure-fire crowd pleaser from two of the masters of the game!
