Written by Patrick Walsh

Directed by Kierstan Conway

  

Fridays, December 12 & 19, 2025 at 7:30 p.m.

Student Matinee Thursday, December 18, 2025, 10:00 a.m.

An innocent bingo fundraiser at the Our Mother of Mercy church goes awry when parishioners mysteriously drop dead! Tensions rise as everyone begins identifying suspects, but who could be behind the elaborate spree? The disgruntled choir director? The magician turned youth minister?  The ex-convict that has recently turned to the power of prayer?  It couldn’t be one of the Cookie Cadets selling their beloved cookies, or could it?  Everyone’s a suspect in this murder mystery… including the audience. Join in the fun with live bingo, prizes, and laughs galore!

Tickets for Youth Theater productions are $15 for adults and $13 for children.  Curtain times are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 p.m. Sundays. Schools and home school groups may reserve seats for student matinees immediately at 216-521-2540. Like previous years, the holiday show will not go on sale until late November to the general public.  Tickets to most productions will go on sale Monday, September 2, 2025.

We will send out an email to those who have signed up the Friday before auditions with the online audition form. Families will be able to submit their electronic resumes and headshots using the online audition form.

 

*Please note: Youth Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our Fall 2025 semester. Actors do not need to be enrolled at the time of the auditions, however, participation in the actual production does require Beck Center enrollment in our Fall 2025 semester. Students do not need to be specifically enrolled in a Theater class at Beck Center to qualify. Students enrolled in a Fall 2025 semester online or in person class in Beck Center’s Dance, Music, Creative Arts Therapies, and Visual Arts Departments are equally eligible. There is NO additional participation fee required beyond enrollment.

 Bottom line:  if you are accepting a role in the show, you will need to enroll prior to the start of rehearsals. Any questions, please feel free to contact Sarah Clare, Associate Director of Theater Education, at sclare@beckcenter.org.

 Our Fall 2025 catalog is available online on the Beck Center website
