FREEPORT - The Winneshiek Players open their 84th consecutive season with "And Then There Were None" at the Winneshiek Playhouse on Sept. 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26.
Based on the best-selling mystery novel of all time, this Agatha Christie mystery is a dark and captivating tale. A group of 10 strangers are lured to a remote island off the coast of Devon. Upon arrival, they discover their host, an eccentric millionaire, is missing. At dinner a recorded message is played accusing each of them in turn of having a guilty secret. By the end of the evening, the 10 guests become nine. Stranded on the island by a torrential storm and haunted by an ancient nursery rhyme, one by one the guests begin to die.
Director AmyJo Beightol first saw this mystery when previously produced at the Winneshiek Playhouse in 1978. The cast is a diverse group of community members featuring both veteran and contemporary actors.
In conjunction with the play, Union Savings Bank will launch a community fundraiser. The special event features artist Tom Heflin's rendition of one of Freeport's most notable landmarks, the Krape Park waterfall. Attendees at any of the five performances will have an opportunity to win a limited edition print of the commissioned work that hangs in the bank's newly remodeled lobby.

All performances begin at 7:30 p.m. General admission tickets are $12 and can be reserved by contacting the box office at tickets@wplay.org or (815) 232-7023.
