Fremont Lions Present ‘How the Other Half Dies’

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

(Fremont, Iowa) – There are lemon car laws but do those laws cover when a person finds a dead body in the trunk the day after they bring the car home? That is only one of the confusing questions encountered by Sybil Chasteen (Jeanene Calhoun) during this year’s Fremont Lions Club production of “How the Other Half Dies.”

The 35th show produced by the Lions Club will take the stage Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 10, 11 and 12. Show times Friday and Saturday are 7 PM with a 2 PM Sunday matinee. The show will be held at the Fremont School stage with a pre-show meal served (free will donation).

The play, written by Eddie McPherson, is a murder-mystery that spirals out of control with comedy and will leave the audience in stitches. For information on getting tickets in advance, contact Bill Ward (641-295-6060) or Jeanene Calhoun (641-660-7282). Otherwise, tickets will be available at the door.
