About It's a Madhouse!

Best-selling mystery author Byron Pembroke is dead.  Soon after, his highly dysfunctional family gathers on a dark and stormy evening for the reading of the will.  Each family member has their own reason to believe they’ll receive the bulk of Byron’s estate, but the family soon finds out that the deceased didn’t think much of them.  Instead of naming an heir, Byron instead condensed his fortune into one mysterious object and left it to...  whoever finds it first! 

Before greedy family members are able to put together individual plans of their own, the mansion is overrun by a horde of strangers seeking shelter from the storm.  And once the strangers find out about the hidden treasure, they soon join in the hunt.

Who will find the treasure first?  Byron’s spoiled, self-serving family members?  The bickering trio of ghost hunters?  The nosy news team?  Or the busload of obnoxious tourists?  Loaded with comical vignettes, this madcap mystery gives every person on and offstage a chance to be part of the madness!

Woodland Middle School

Since its inception, the Woodland Middle School Theatre Department has been dedicated to providing audiences with quality productions and students with the outlet to express themselves and grow as people and performers. Mrs. Margaret Hall and Mrs. Margie Wineman-Chaney led a wonderful program that was unfortunately cut short in 2020. After their retirement and a brief hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Woodland Middle School Theatre returned in 2022 following the hire of Miss Newman as the full-time theatre teacher. While she was left with some pretty big shoes to fill, Miss Newman has always strived to put on shows that would make her predecessors and students proud. After It's a Madhouse has closed, students and creative staff will begin preparation for our spring production of Matilda Jr.
