Mark Twain’s
A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage
by Aaron Posner and James Sugg
(based on a long-lost short story by Mark Twain)
Directed by Carol M. Rice

Mary wants to tie the knot with her sweetheart Hugh, but if they walk down the aisle, she will be disinherited. The shocking discovery of a dastardly deed further complicates her choice and may throw her into the arms of a “mysterious stranger.” Who is the good guy and who is the bad? Will Mary marry the wrong man? Or will love and truth save the day? Only the wit, wisdom, and satirical humor of Mark Twain could answer these questions as this outrageous bluegrass musical unfolds to its just conclusion!
