Can super-sleuth Jessica Maples, played by Brooklyn Sparks, and detective Hercules Porcchop, played by Jordan Jenkins, solve the mystery in time? "The Curse of the Cobra's Kiss" is Friday, Dec. 9 at 7 p.m. at Mitchell High School.
Mitchell High Theatre I students have been busily preparing for their final production of the semester, “The Curse of the Cobra's Kiss”— an audience-interactive murder mystery that aims to keep viewers guessing.
The discovery of King Rottenlux's tomb outside the ancient Egyptian city of Luxor has brought together some of the world's most illustrious people. Assembled at Professor Tommy Tower's estate to view the treasures of the tomb are his willful wife, his jealous secretary, a ne'er-do-well nephew with feuding girlfriends on each arm, a ruthless Hollywood director, two vengeful movie starlets, a mysterious fortune teller, a secretive graduate assistant and rival tabloid reporters.
Is it any wonder that the Professor— now a multi-millionaire— quickly meets his end when a cobra injects its deadly poison into his veins? Not to worry, super-sleuth Jessica Maples, with the help of the great Belgian detective Hercules Porcchop, uncover many secrets hidden by the weekend guests.
As if weaving a net, they piece together, with the audience's help, the threads of the mystery until they ensnare the clever, vicious killer. Can you discover whodunnit?

Adults are $12, students are $6 and children 5 and under are free. This production is rated PG and is appropriate for all audiences.
