Sapulpa Community Theatre presents “Finders Creepers” by Donald Payton today though Sunday, Oct. 18 and Oct. 23-25. Show times are 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. Reservations are required.
Directed by Sean Ballard, “Finders Creepers” is a Halloween show that features Hercules Nelson. His aunt and uncle invite he and his best friend Lucas to spend the weekend with them. With suitcases in hand, the boys arrive at Uncle Bob’s to discover that Uncle Bob is a mortician, and there’s a funeral scheduled on Monday. Well, it’s not long before things start happening in ways that would put most brave men to
flight.
Needless to say, the boys are terrified until they find out that Mr. Quigley, the corpse, isn’t dead. Someone tried to knock him off while he was sleeping so he devised a plan: he’d make his family think he was dead, then show up at his funeral and trap the guilty party. No doubt Mr. Quigley had a good plan and no doubt things would have ended peacefully, but there are two things he failed to consider … Lucas Maxwell and Hercules Nelson.
The Sapulpa Community Theatre is at 124 S Water St. in Sapulpa, OK. For more information, call (918)227-2169 or send an e-mail to stheatre@sbcglobal.net.
