The Mystery of Edwin Drood has a book, music, and lyrics by Rupert Holmes and is based on the unfinished novel by Charles Dickens. This original and funny show-within-a-show allows the audience to vote on the evening’s outcome, including what happened to Edwin Drood and who is responsible. It was the first Broadway musical with multiple endings. The production won five Tony Awards including “Best Book,” “Best Score,” and “Best Musical.”

St. Bart’s Players, founded in 1927, is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to presenting high-caliber, quality theater at affordable prices.

Its home base is St. Bartholomew's Church, 325 Park Avenue at 51st Street in Manhattan, where meetings, auditions, rehearsals, cabarets, parties and other fun events are held. Most of the members, including the governing Advisory Board, hold full-time day jobs in a wide variety of careers and pursue their love of theater in their off-hours. The group is a melting pot of creativity, talent and management skills that is infused with a hard-work ethic, which is why the Players has enjoyed the long tradition of “consistently achieving professional caliber [theater].” (New York Times).
