On the weekend of Nov. 11-12, 27 Archer students participated in the musical “The Mystery of Edwin Drood.” It is the last Upper School musical to take place in the Blackbox.
The show was an interactive piece and highly dependent on audience members’ engagement and participation — they had to figure out the ending with nine possible murderers, five different detectives and 18 possible lovers.
