The Mystery of Edwin Drood is Wheaton Academy’s first interactive whodunit mystery musical that allows the audience to enter the action, become the ultimate detectives, and finish the story Charles Dickens didn’t. Thus, the musical, based on Charles Dickens’ unfinished novel of the same name, is literally different every night, depending on what the audience decides!

The following leads will perform for Saturday, February 26, Thursday March 3, and Saturday, March 5:
