'The 10 Little Chipmunks' Opens at MVHS

Editor's Note: Due to snowstorms, the opening is being pushed to Saturday night. 

"The 10 Little Chipmunks" sounds like it might be a children’s book if you’re not familiar with this murder mystery comedy. Sworn to not reveal the culprit, the Merrimack Valley High School Theater Club has been hard at work for the past few months and will be ready for the curtain to open this Thursday, Feb. 13.

The story is of billionaire Thaddeus Thornbury, realizing the end of his life is near, invites all potential heirs to his secluded mansion on Chipmunk Island. His will states the last surviving member of the weekend party will inherit the entire Thornbury fortune. 

Following a toast, poor Thaddeus promptly dies of poisoning. What ensues will keep theater goers guessing and laughing!

Directed by Tyler Radel and Abby Sanborn, this production has been a real team effort with cast and crew building sets, rehearsing and having a lot of fun.
