The Central College Theatre Department will have performances beginning this weekend of a musical based on the unfinished novel by Charles Dickens.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood will be at the Pella Opera House for six shows, with opening night Friday.

Student actor Jenner Lathrop says the audience will have a hand in the ending, and all facets of the production have to be ready for the choice.

All shows except for the February 21st performance begin at 7:30 p.m. Shows will take place on February 19-21 and 25-27.

Ticket price: $12 adults, $9 senior citizens and students or FREE with Central College ID card. Contact the Central College Box Office at 641-628-9000 or the Opera House Box office at 641-628-8625 for ticket information.
