After the success of the Elmira Theatre Company’s last murder mystery in May, the group is preparing for another one next month.

This time, the whodunit – Shootout at the Silver Spur – was written by the group’s very own Tracy Leighton.

The story is set at a popular watering hole in Woolwich County in the 1890s. There, the sheriff is determined to make an arrest, with or without the patrons’ help. When a shocking murder occurs, everyone seems to be a suspect.

Can the crime be solved before the killer strikes again?
