‘Something’s Afoot’ at the Theatre on the Hill

The fall season at Theatre on the Hill opens with Gothic Production’s hilarious musical “Something’s Afoot,” running Sept. 9 through 25 at the Hillcrest Center for the Arts,403 West Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, with 2 p.m. matinees on Sundays. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children, students and seniors.

This zany showl, directed by Michael Jordan, takes a satirical poke at Agatha Christie mysteries and old musical styles. Ten people are stranded in an isolated English country house during a thunderstorm. One by one they’re picked off by fiendish devices. As the bodies pile up in the library, the survivors race to uncover the identity of the culprit.

Book, music and lyrics are by James McDonald, David Vos and Robert Gerlach, with additional music by Ed Linderman.
