And Then There Were None, a play by Agatha Christie, opens Friday night at Pella High School. Pella Drama and Speech Director Suzi Jones tells KNIA/KRLS that rehearsal for the murder mystery production has been a challenge because of several students out with illness.

“And then there were none would be a nice title for our rehearsal process,” joked Jones. “Last Friday five of the eleven cast members were out with the flu and we haven’t had the full cast together for probably over two weeks.”

Still, Jones says she’s excited about the roles that the students will get to act out and says she’s looking forward to opening night. Pella High School’s fall drama production And Then There Were None shows Friday at Saturday nights at 7:30 p.m., with tickets available for $5 at the door of the Pella High School Auditorium, with doors opening at 7:00 p.m.
