2020

When you can’t perform live theater, you improvise! The Friends of the Irmo Branch Library presented a virtual mystery play, “Death’s Shadow” on Sept. 25 and 26, 2020 via Zoom. The audience was given the chance to help solve the murder case and vote on the perpetrator. Fun was had and funds were raised to help the library.
