The play, written by Billy St. John, is about a bus load of passengers stranded by a blizzard in upstate New York who find their way to St. Mary’s Convent, where the Reverend Mother Mary Cecilia provides them lodging for the night. One of her guests is a serial killer known as the “Mary Murderer,” whose victims are all named Mary. Unfortunately, five of the Reverend Mother’s nuns are named Mary, as are a number of passengers from the bus. This certainly makes for an interesting evening in the convent, where no one feels safe! The light-hearted mystery comedy provides as many laughs as chills.

“Murder Can Be Habit-Forming” will be performed under the direction of Leslie Kane.

The winter art exhibition in Gallery 306 will feature student art and will be open from 5:45-6:45 p.m. nightly before the play.

Those planning to attend any performance of “Murder Can Be Habit-Forming” may park in the school’s parking garage or in the lot outside the Performing Arts Center; both are accessible off of Julia Street.

Lemont High School is located at 800 Porter Street in Lemont (directions).
