WEATHERFORD – Theatre Off the Square presents Tim J. Kelly’s "Curse of the Werewolf" beginning Friday, Nov. 13, and running weekends through Sunday, Nov. 22. Mike West directs the production which is presented by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing Company.
The phrase “dark and stormy night” perfectly describes Curse of the Werewolf as the story begins in Gargoyle House, the castle belonging to Algernon Snipes. Shadows and howling set the mood for this mystery of family secrets and plots to find out if there is a werewolf and an accompanying curse. After the untimely demise of the lord of the manor, Algernon Snipes, the relatives are summoned to the castle since there is a family fortune at stake. Handling estate business becomes increasingly difficult with such an assortment of family and houseguests, ranging from Buzz, the nephew and entertainer whose act includes a penguin, a child who has baby piranhas for pets, a new governess and Colonel Snipes and his wife, just to name a few. When the heir to the fortune is announced, that reveals even more of the tangled web surrounding the Snipes family and their fortune. All is resolved with cunning and wit making Curse of the Werewolf an entertaining and funny whodunit.
Included in the cast of "Curse of the Werewolf" is Holly Kiehn, Karri O’Connor, Duncan Alexander, Christopher Reaves and David Railsback; along with Naomi Wood, Kaleigh Parker, Meggie Ellisor, Amanda Johnson and Kristen McCurdy.
"Curse of the Werewolf" runs weekends Nov. 13-22, with Friday and Saturday performances beginning at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees beginning at 2 p.m. Theatre Off the Square is located at 114 N.

Texas, underground
The Natural Bridge Caverns take “deep in the heart of Texas Hill Country” to a whole new meaning. With depths reaching 260 feet underground, it is Texas’ largest-known cavern and consistently ranks as one of the state’s top tourist destinations. Discovered in 1960 by students at St. Mary’s University, the cavern, located just west of New Braunfels, has delighted visitors for decades with lantern-led tours, archaeological gems, and natural formations like “soda straw” stalactites occurring along hidden passages.
