The Canadian Art’s Alliance staging of Murder at the Art Show was a great success. Director Kayla Gregg honed the timing and dialogue between the 10 actors, and it was spot on. “We were so happy to be able to hold community theatre after such a long hiatus. The actors’ and director’s hard work paid off,” said Ike Julian, CAA board member. “They all did a wonderful job, and kept the laughs coming. The audience was thrilled to come out and enjoy the show, and the CAA was thrilled to facilitate the arts in Canadian.” The Murder at the Art Show cast included Jocelyn Timmons, Wendy Wright, Brian Broadbent, Bobby Gregg, Vanessa Huff, Mistie Walser, Sawyer Landry, Angie Hawkins, Randy Walser, and Kyle Wright, with cameo appearances by Dale Jenkins and Adam Hawkins.
