When eight mystery writers arrive at a legendary writer’s fog-shrouded island mansion in the North Atlantic, they think they’re ready for the Deadline Challenge—twenty-four restful hours to write as much of their new novel as possible. But the Deadline Challenge is anything but restful. In reality, the writers are brought together to solve a murder—the victim yet be determined, and the killer yet to strike. If a writer can design and execute a perfect murder and get away with it, they’ll win a million dollars (which is a lot of money for a writer). Who will live? Who will die? Who will survive the Deadline?

The Hartland High School Drama Club, Troupe 4213, is comprised of a dedicated and creative group of 9th-12th grade students who attend Hartland High School.  Each year, our club produces one play in the fall and one musical in the spring.  In addition to our shows, our club participates in the International Thespian Society providing members opportunities to earn points toward their individual membership with the organization.  We also produce a showcase (usually in January) where student play-writes and student directors are offered the chance to showcase their work.

Our theatre troupe is not only about those who appear on the stage performing, we may have an additional 30 to 50 students during each production who work feverishly backstage and behind the scenes helping to produce the most professional product possible.  Each student, no matter their craft is a storyteller helping to tell the story you see on stage while using their special set of skills.
