William Shakespeare is credited with inventing how many words?*
Answering Shakespeare trivia comes with the job description for library
director Lindsey Norris. But when the Briar Creek Community Theater
mounts their newest production of the Bard, she has no intention of
leaving the stacks for the stage. Unfortunately a villain is waiting in

Former Broadway actress Violet La Rue is holding auditions for A
Midsummer Night's Dream--and everyone from the sour spinster librarian
Ms. Cole to Lindsey's youthful library pages are trying out for parts.

has faded, the Bard's dream turns into a nightmare--when one of the cast
is poisoned. Now Lindsey and her crafternooners must take center stage
to unmask the culprit before the final curtain call...
