A ‘Perfect Crime’ to be featured at The
Talent Box in Wills Point
Special to The Monitor
WILLS POINT–The Talent Box in Wills Point will hold regular
and dinner performances of “Perfect Crime,” written by
Warren Manzi and directed by Jane Gamon in March.
The mystery takes place in a present day sitting room in the
Brent home in an upper-crust Connecticut neighborhood.
During several nights of an eventful week, a decades-old
mystery unfolds with psychiatrist Margaret Thorne Brent on
the verge of a best selling, Oprah Winfrey-appearance
success. But there’s a mettlesome secret from her past, an
unstable patient and her insufferable husband to complicate
matters.
James Ascher, a local police inspector interested in the
case (and maybe more) helps keep the audience guessing.
Jane Gamon of Myrtle Springs will direct the play with
assistance from Diane Hamilton of Wills Point. Connie Peden
of Wills Point will manage sound and lights; and Virginia
Reid-Yost of Terrell will stage manage with help from
Michelle Rowden of Edgewood.
Cliff Reichel of Terrell will design and build the set.
James Phillips of Edgewood will prepare the program cover.
Jane Gamon will prepare the program and Carl Campbell of
Terrell will do the publicity and handle the box office.

2-3 and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 4.

refreshments following the opening performance.

Women’s club hears book reviewer
Sharron Lucky

Monitor Staff Writer
KEMP–Sharron Lucky entertained the Cedar Creek Lake Women’s
Club during their monthly meeting Jan. 24 at Cedar Creek
Country Club.
Lucky, a professional book reviewer, shared the story,
“Becky: The Life and Loves of Becky Thatcher” by Lenore Hart
with the club members and guests.
Dressed in costume from 1910 in San Francisco, Lucky takes
the audience back in time as she shares Becky Thatcher’s
desire to set the record straight about her relationship
with Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.
Thatcher was Tom Sawyer’s childhood sweetheart who was
uncommitted to making a life with her.
Thatcher lived in Missouri during the Civil War. Missouri
tried to remain neutral during the war but became involved
when it was invaded.

Book reviewer Sharron Lucky of Dallas presents “Becky: The
Life and Loves of Becky Thatcher” for the Cedar Creek Lake
Women’s Club Jan. 24 at Cedar Creek Country Club.
Thatcher’s husband enlists in the army against her
wishes. Thatcher decides to join Tom Sawyer’s “Freebooters
Gang” to find her husband. Thatcher often impersonates a man
as a member of the gang. Her goal is to find her husband and
bring him home from the war.
Lucky is able to be the voice of Thatcher as the audience
learns of her adventures during this time period. Most are
very humorous as the strong-willed Thatcher has a message “I
was never the weeping little ninny Sam Clemens made me out
to be in his book.”
Lucky has been a book reviewer for many years and resides in
Dallas with her husband. She is also children’s book author
and public speaker.
Guests were treated to a delicious lunch of salad
selections, baked potatoes, soup and cookies.
Lucy Morris and Betty Wise were named to the club’s
nominating committee that is chaired by Phyllis Watson. The
committee will present a slate of officer nominees for
election and installation in the spring.
