Second Street Players’ first children’s theater production of 2024 will be the mystery, “The Long Red Herring,” written by Pat Cook.
Directed by SaraKate and Scott Hammer, performances are set for Friday to Sunday, Feb. 23 to 25, at the Riverfront Theater, 2 S. Walnut St., Milford. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7 p.m., and the Sunday show begins at 2 p.m.

Professor Kleine, a creative literature instructor, has a rather unusual final exam. He sets up a murder scenario in his own home and has his students try to solve it. Somewhere along the way, however, one of the students begins to wonder if it really is just an assignment, or has a real murder taken place? When another student is killed, it really gets serious. Who is actually dead and who is the murderer? The ending will surprise audiences. Attendees should note the show presents the topics of homicide and suicide, and will use prop weapons in production. Parents and guardians are advised to consider the ages of children they bring to this show, and to use their own discretion as some content is geared for more mature children.
