CURTAINS – Pied Piper Theatre’s Spring Musical!

It’s 1959, and Boston’s Colonial Theatre is hosting the opening night performance of a new musical when the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage, making the entire cast and crew of the show potential suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan! Packed with glorious tunes by Kander & Ebb, and a witty, charming book by Rupert Holmes, CURTAINS is a hilariously suspenseful musical comedy whodunit that will keep you guessing until the end!

Performance Schedule:

Saturday, April 5th – shows at 4pm and 7:30pm
Sunday, April 6th – 5pm show
