👽 Something strange is happening at Pretenders Playhouse… 👀

Our cast has been hard at work rehearsing for “It’s a Mystery!” — and apparently, things get a little… out of this world. 😂🛸

We caught a few moments from practice with our resident alien, and honestly… we have questions. LOTS of questions. 🤣

What is going on? Who is the alien? And what exactly is this mystery all about? You’ll have to join us to find out!
🎭 A lighthearted, family-friendly comedy
👽 Lots of laughs
🔎 A mystery to solve
🍽️ And a fun dinner show experience!
