To see the scheduled times you can visit www.mainstreetoberlin.org. Peppy the Clown will also make an appearance at the event. As with most events there is also a car show scheduled.

The MAD Factory invites you to join them at the Oberlin High School Auditorium as they present – “The Butler Did It, Singing!”

This is a delightful, audience pleasing, musical spoof based on Mr. Kelly's enormously popular hit The Butler Did It. Miss Maple, a flaky society dowager, invites a pack of zany detective writers to a spooky house on an isolated island and forces them to impersonate their fictional sleuths. For entertainment, she arranges some "classic" touches — a hairy face at the window, the threat of an escaped lunatic, no communications with the outside world. What she did not arrange was the body on the sitting room carpet! It's up to seedy Chandler Marlowe to solve the bizarre case and he makes a sidesplitting mess of it!

Shows run Friday & Saturday @ 8PM and Sunday @ 3PM.

Although admission is FREE, donations are gratefully accepted. Doors open 30 minutes before the show. For More information call The MAD Factory at 440-774-7062 or visit their website www.madfactory.org
