Thank you Llano for the wonderful turn out for this weekend’s first ever murder mystery “Once in a Blue Moon “ to benefit the Llano River Railroad! It was great fun! A special thank you to LCT board member Elke Duttlinger-Jones for writing and directing, and to the cast and crew for lending their time and talents. We love Llano! ❤️

Rehearsals have begun for Llano Community Theatre's "Once in Blue Moon" which will be performed in the Llano River RailRoad train car the last weekend of May: Save the date! (7pm Saturday evening, May 30 and 2pm Sunday matinee May 31). This is a theatrical murder mystery with multiple staged murders, clues, suspects (including several audience members!), and plot twists.

Llano Community Theatre is trying to quickly pull together a cast and crew for a murder mystery fund raiser benefitting the Llano River Railroad to be held in their newly refurbished train car the last weekend of May (two performances, Saturday evening, May 30 and Sunday matinee, May 31).

Elke and Judy will reprise their "When Dickens Came to Llano" roles of Playwright and Director (and yes, the bickering between them will continue) but we also need a couple of offstage voices, a policeman, and an assistant to fill out the cast (LRR is providing one of their own to play a railroad enthusiast). The play spoofs Agatha Christie's well known "And then there were none" mystery novel, so we will also lean heavily on the audience to supply multiple suspects and victims (spoiler alert, expect a few plants in the audience).

We also need stage crew -- sound, lights, someone to run the TV screens, makeup, props, photographer...

Thank you Llano community for a wonderful 2025! With our original productions, “In Their Own Words: Letters From our Founders” and “When Dickens Came to Llano” we helped raise money for the Llano County Museum and the Llano County Historical Commission. We can’t wait to share our plans for more in 2026!
