Head of Drama at Marian College and director Teresa Tonks said the school is excited to present this year's production of Lucky $tiff at Ararat Town Hall.
"A light-hearted and slapstick show, Lucky $tiff was the perfect medicine for our students who had been deprived of live theatre for so long," she said.
"After yet another frustrating lockdown in August, we weren't sure we could get a show up and running.
"Fortunately, we rescheduled for December (9-11) and look forward to staging this crazy and comedic show for the people of Ararat."
Lucky $tiff is an comedy murder mystery with mistaken identities, love interests, disguises, farcical chases, and an omnipresent corpse.
