A murder, a dead billionaire, a famous detective, the 2021 fall play will answer all of your questions…It cant be the butler this time! Mr. Teacher is directing a murder mystery comedy called “The Alibis” which was originally written by Johnathan Dorf.

This is expected to be more experimental than previous Hackley plays. Auditions took place on September 29th and September 30th, and the cast has been rehearsing for a month already. The cast includes Griffin Senyek ’22, Hanna Gorevic ’23, Ella Rodriguez ’23, Arjan Sandhu ’23, Ava Lattimore ’23, Mike Potanin ’23, Fox Quattrone ’25, Angela Croce ’25, and Arri Posey ’25. This show is being stage-managed by Lilo Haidara ’25. 

Due to COVID, the theatre program has dwindled over the past eighteen months, and this play will be a key component to reviving theatre, being one of the first live and in-person productions since the pandemic began in early 2020. Show support for your classmates, and attend one of the five performances. Opening night is on October 29th at 7 pm, followed by four more performances on October 30th at 7 p.m., November 4th at 4:30 p.m., November 5th at 7 p.m., and the final performance will be on November 6th at 7 p.m.
