About the Show
When eccentric billionaire J. Leslie Arlington is murdered, a clueless detective discovers that every suspect has an alibi they don't want to admit—because they were all busy committing even more ridiculous crimes! With disgruntled chefs, teen detectives, vengeful divas, and plenty of absurd twists, you'll never know what's coming next.

This class will be challenging and FUN!
Robyn Shapllo
Robyn is a recent transplant to Winston-Salem, having moved here from south Florida in 2024. Winston's wonderful arts community reignited her passion for all things drama and she is delighted to introduce our youngest thespians to the stage. Robyn has a BA in Theatre and an MS in Education, and relishes any opportunity to join the two! Over the past 15 years, Robyn has taught Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, and 3rd grade and while she has left the classroom, she continues to work within the educational sphere. In Florida, she directed several drama club productions for elementary schoolers. Robyn recently appeared in last winter's LTWS production of A Christmas Carol as Mrs. Cratchit, and has also participated in other local one-acts and staged readings. When not teaching or acting, she enjoys early morning walks and spending time with her almost 3 year old nephew, Kenny.
The mission of The Little Actors Theatre Classes and Productions is to build a compassionate and inclusive theatre community where every individual can explore their creative potential. Through the transformative power of theatre, we aim to instill self-discipline, foster collaboration, and nurture the personal and artistic growth of our students. We are dedicated to creating a dynamic environment where students can learn the craft of acting, honing their skills and understanding the nuances of performance. By encouraging empathy, mutual respect, and a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives, our program aspires to empower students to become innovative thinkers, compassionate leaders, and active participants in the arts and their communities, using theatre as a medium to inspire positive change.
