The Masquer's Playhouse presents "The People vs. Mona," a musical that pulls the audience right into the middle of the fast-paced action and hijinx happening in small-town America.

Set in Tippo, Georgia, this musical offers an eclectic mix of comedy and drama. Mona, a third-generation Latina American business owner, is accused of murdering her new husband with a guitar.

"Mona" is also a love story and a murder mystery complete with courtroom shenanigans and fate-of-a-small-town-hanging-on-the-verdict show that will have audience members on the edge of their seats. 

The play encompasses various styles of music, from folk to gospel and jazz to rock, and provides a sense of good-natured fun through a loveable assortment of small-town characters.
