Deer become more active in autumn with the lead-up to their fall breeding season, commonly referred to as the “rut.” Around this time, many yearling bucks disperse from the areas in which they were born and travel, sometimes several dozen miles, to find new ranges. Meanwhile, adult bucks more often are cruising their home ranges in search of does, and they sometimes chase the does they encounter.

Miss Amanda Burdick is the stage manager and Mrs. Lynne Weimer is the Theater Boosters president and house manager. Over a dozen adult volunteers make up the production team.

Commenting on the upcoming production, Maxson said, “Bringing this brand-new play to our stage has been a wonderful experience. The students have had a lot of fun learning about iconic detectives, like Sherlock Holmes, Sam Spade and Miss Marple. The more modern characters like the Scooby Gang and Batman have given us flashes of hilarity and true creative inspiration. Being able to find those comedic moments where each actor can shine has been such a great learning experience. This production is a parody that will have the audience laughing throughout the show. We’re really excited to bring it to our stage.”
