Murder at Rundown Abbey is produced with special arrangement by Pioneer Drama Service Inc. in Englewood, Colorado. Tickets will go on sale in late October. VWHS Theatre hopes to see area residents at its live fall productions as members continue to create, perform, and inspire the Van Wert community through the theatrical arts.
