The fifth option is the Lee Theatre Production “A Murder is Announced” by Agatha Christie.
 
“We have had a great time rehearsing this murder mystery and we can’t wait to have audiences join us for our first performance on Lee Day,” said Dr. Christine Williams, professor of theatre and chair of the Communication Arts Department at Lee. “It has been quite some time since we have played an Agatha Christie, and this has been such a delight to direct.”

The evening will conclude with the Moonlight Cafe in the Sharp Pedestrian Mall, an event featuring live music and coffee.
 
Saturday events will begin at 7 a.m. with registration, campus tours, and Early Class Selection. The morning will also offer more opportunities to view academic displays and residence halls.
