Audiences flocked to Wheaton Drama to see the musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood on the weekend of May 20th, not knowing what to expect…and they found themselves actively participating in this wild and highly theatrical story! The audiences became part of the zany plot twists, noted the thought provoking clues, interacted with characters in emotionally charged relationships, and ultimately, voted on the ending! This created a rich story for each night, and produced a unique ending to each performance – a great experience in which the audience not only enjoyed themselves, but actively helped produce!
