When ten distant relatives learn that each of them is about to inherit a million dollars, wheels begin to turn and plots hatch. If someone doesn't make it through the stormy weekend ahead, their share will be divided equally among the others. It doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure out that less is more. As bodies pile up, the laughs come fast and furiously in this ‘whodunnit' that proves that Where There's a Will, There's a Murder.

Eden/Eve J. Puente  - Stage manager This is my third production at vista del lago, and first time being a tech for Mrs. Gysbers. I am the stage manager, and meeting all my wonderful actors this year was super fun. It was a hassle at times to teach them, plan the play, and tell them how they should act, but I hope we did a good job and you will enjoy the play “If There’s a Will, There’s a Murder”.

Jennifer Gysbers

Director
Ms. Gysbers has been interested in theatre since she was a kid. She enjoys teaching theatre drama because it is entertaining; she gets to meet new students and watch them grow. We hope that you enjoy our production and our fun twist on this great show, along with our amazing cast and crew!! Thank you for coming tonight, hope you enjoy the show. What she had to say about this production: “As a kid, hanging out in libraries (my mother was a librarian), I discovered these old time radio shows on cassette. I fell in love with them and would listen to episode after episode. I discovered the original Broadcast of War of the Worlds and then its impact as a 7th grader and always wanted to bring it back to life. And here we are... I am looking forward to seeing everyone do their best. We had fun creating or discovering what would help us make the foley sounds for this show and with a crew of productive techs along with the amazing 5th & 6th period tech class this has been a fun show. In this production, we hope to have brought you some great enjoyment.
