About the production courtesy Salina Central Theatre

The mystery surrounds an annual karaoke contest. A contestant has cheated her way to the championship for ten years in a row. If she wins this year, she could buy the failing KC’s Karaoke Cabin. There are some that will stop at nothing to stop her…even murder! This is your chance to test your deducting skills and have a wonderful evening.
