Director David Crowley says the play is the story of an eccentric group of family members who gather for the reading of the patriarch’s will, each bringing with them a copy of their own fake will. Before any of the wills can be substituted for the real one, though, people start getting murdered. Throw in the requisite stormy night, with lights going on and off, and people who aren’t who they claim to be, and you have an evening of mystery and laughter that everyone will enjoy.
Tickets prices are $7.00 for adults and $5.00 for students and seniors.

Each year, the Family Coalition collects new unopened packages of diapers and wipes for the Keweenaw Family Resource Center’s (KFRC) Baby Closet.

829 packages of diapers and wipes

16 pack-n-plays to provide safe sleep environments

33 baby safety items including baby gates and 1 car seat

136 bags of clothing

40 referrals to other support programs

“The Baby Closet exists to help ensure that families have access to the basic items their children need to be strong and healthy”, said Iola Brubaker, KFRC Executive Director. “Providing diapers and wipes during challenging financial times is just one way we can help support families.”

All sizes and diapers are needed to support the community, but the most commonly requested sizes are size 5, 6 & 7. All donations stay local and directly benefit families in the Copper Country. Donation boxes will be available at multiple locations starting December 4, 2024, through January 6, 2025.

You can find donation boxes at these locations: Aspirus, Auto Pro, Copper Country ISD, Econo, Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Keweenaw Chevrolet GMC, KFRC, MTU ROTC, Portage Lake District Library, Superior Family Chiropractic, Trinity Episcopal Church, and U.P.
