History Alive! Presents “Goodnight, Captain White” with Brett Johnson

It’s back and bigger than ever. They will be performing the 2nd and 3rd weekends in October. The script and show is hilarious and rapid-fire, mixing 1830’s decorum with twists, modern references and exuberant zip.
Johnson will be playing Daniel Webster, the “detective” in this, attempting to solve the murderous whodunnit with the audience’s help.

All friends and well wishers are invited to attend the retirement party of Captain Joseph White’s favorite ship, the Caroline. But this magnanimous invitation lures a host of enemies and ill-wishers into the perfect opportunity to murder the rich, old captain. Allegiances twist and turn. Foibles are exposed, depravities revealed. It’s up to the audience and an under cover Daniel Webster to figure out who-dunnit and how. The creators of Cry Innocent give Salem a crime to laugh about!
