A group of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who run the house, and the suspicions in their minds nearly wreck their perfect marriage. Others are a spinster with a curious background, an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef, a retired Army major, a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst comes a policeman, traveling on skis. He no sooner arrives, when the jurist is killed. Two down, and one to go. To get to the rationale of the murderer's pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles a lot of skeletons. Another famous Agatha Christie switch finish! Chalk up another superb intrigue for the foremost mystery writer of her time.

OUR HISTORY​

Established in the fall of 2015 the theater arts program at V. R. Eaton High School is designed for young artists who are serious about their craft. Through challenging coursework and guidance from a faculty of artist-educators, students develop their skills in all aspects of theater. Each year, the program presents up to six productions, giving students a chance to explore a wide variety of repertoire and roles.

The Performance training is Stanislavsky/Adler-based and incorporates techniques designed to help the students explore the full potential of their own unique resources while using their imagination. Theater Arts also offers a concentration in Design and Production that provides pre-professional training in all aspects of technical theater. When students leave Eaton High School, they have a broad range of experiences and are prepared for success in university, conservatory or professional theater.
