The Cross Rock Youth Group is seeking local talent for our next dinner theater. This year's mystery is titled, "Just Desserts" in which the Honorable Judge R. P. Cogsworth is judging a charity bake-off. Countless entries have been whittled down to three desserts. As the competition gets heated, one of the competitors takes extreme measures to take the top prize - leaving a trail of crumbs behind making sure that they end up with the blue ribbon. Ms. Peabody calls upon her detective skills, along with the audiences' help, to solve the mystery.
We are in need of two adult female characters:
MARGARET MASON, the richest lady in town who offers a rich chocolate tort.
MISS PEABODY, a retired teacher who is head of the contest and the audience.
Auditions will be held on Sunday, May 5th, at 7:00pm in the Holy Trinity basement. Performances will be Friday & Saturday evenings on June 28 & 29. Rehearsals will be scheduled once casting is set. For questions, please text Michelle 320-493-1180.
Join Us For Game Night at the Royalton Rectory on Friday, April 26th at 7:00pm. Bring a snack to share and your favorite game if you wish.

Cross Rock youth are invited to attend the Steubenville Youth Conference, July 12-15, 2024! We will be heading to the one located in Rochester, MN. Cost per student is currently $550.
