Production Notes
Holiday production November 29–December 15, 2024. Performances: 8 p.m. November 29–30, December 6–7 and 13–14; 7:30 p.m. December 5 and 12; 2 p.m. December 8 and 15. Won the 2012 Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award for Best Play. This is a new Season 41 staging of a work previously produced by CST during Season 31 (2014), and the two must remain distinct archival records. Kaylan Ferrell is credited with that spelling in the original production announcement; a later secondary summary shortened the surname to Ferrel. The Tannenbaum Gallery featured Yvita Crider’s handmade jewelry and Albert Bostick’s paintings. Other supporters included Children’s Arts Network, John and Becky Clinton, Mel and Cindy Ables, Lana Henson, and Karl Semtner. Supported in part by the Oklahoma Arts Council, National Endowment for the Arts, Inasmuch Foundation, Kirkpatrick Family Fund, and Allied Arts.
