(Photographer’s statement: I took this photo because it had the most perfect lighting at that time and I captured it right before a blackout scene happened. The angle which I took this photo makes it seem all the more intriguing and enticing to people who view it because they don’t truly know what is going on in the story & with the expressions being shown by some of the actors you can see shock, & focus.
“Mystery in the Theatre” - Seniors Alec Wagner, Jette Dunker, and Junior Alex Crowell in the Rep Theatre show ‘Rehearsal for a murder.’ The main character is accusing three of his past actors of murdering his significant other.
